The weight (or more correctly mass) of an object is determined by it's density and volume. In this question, if we take the volume as "one cup", the weight can be calculated by density x volume. The density of NaCl (common salt) is 2.16 g/cm³, and the density of water is 1 g/cm³.
So the weight of the salt will be 2.16 x one cup, and the weight of the water will be 1 x one cup, so the salt weighs more.

A cup of salt. The density of NaCl is over 2 times greater than water.

Ever pour salt into water? Does it (at least the undissolved portion) float or sink? That's your first clue

Salt. It's density is 2.16 g / cm^3 water is one.

i dont know the weight of the salt but in the sea you see the salt floating and dissoluted in the sea water. so i think the water weights more (1000kg/m3)
