Helmut (above) gave you 2/3 of your answer, but failed to address your question specifically as to will the same volume of water weigh the same as an equal volume of ice.
The 3rd part of the answer is that the same amount (the same mass) of liquid water will have a larger volume in its frozen state.
And so your question becomes a bit confounded, as the volume of a quantity of water will differ between its liquid volume and its frozen volume. The same amount of water will increase in volume when frozen.
So if you meant an volume of water versus an equal volume of ice, no they will not be the same, because in order for it to be an equal volume of ice, that ice must have less mass than the liquid.

No the same volume of water does not weigh the same when it is ice. When water freezes it expands : but when the volume is the same it would weigh less as an ice due to lesser weight floats on water.

If you freeze water it will weigh the same but if the volume remains the same then the weight will be less. that is why ice floats.

Water is densest (weighs the most per unit volume) at +4 degrees C
So a given volume of ice will weigh than the same volume of water at 4C

Ice has a density of 0.917 g/cm³ at 0 °C, whereas water has a density of 0.9998 g/cm³ at the same temperature.
So the same volume of water weighs 8% more than ice.

The solid form of most substances is more dense than the liquid phase; thus, a block of pure solid substance will sink in a tub of pure liquid substance. BUT, by contrast, a block of common ice will float in a tub of water because solid water is less dense than liquid water. This is an extremely important characteristic property of water.

No. Put simply the difference in weight is dependent on the amount of surface volume. The greater the surface volume, the greater the weight. Though this weight difference is miniscule - there is, indeed, a difference!
This question was answered by H. R. Remblaum (1820-1856) who devised the complex theorem to support it: Effectively: W = MxG (over) VxX.

If you take a volume of water and freeze it, its mass will remain the same, but its volume will increase.

It weighs less per volume, that's why ice floats.
Water is at it's densest around +39 degrees Fahrenheit.

when water freezes weight remains the same, but the volume changes..
