It depends on the current used - and on how much you want to make.
Faraday's law of electrolysis states that the amount deposited (in moles) will be (the charge used x molar mass of substance produced)/(moles of electrons involved x Faraday's constant).

Charge is given by current (in Amps) x time (in sec).
For copper, moles of electrons = 2, so

amount deposited = (current x time x molar mass)/(2 x 96500)
