1 pound of air= 1 pound of water
You should have asked which is more dense, in this case water is the right one.

If you mean water vapor or air - air is heavier. This is why moist air forms low pressure systems and dry air forms high pressure systems.

Water.
It has a larger mass per volume (density).

Also, it depends what you mean by that question.

density of air: 1.2kg/m3
density of water:
1000 kg/m3, liquid (4Â°C)
917 kg/m3, solid
