There will be increase in Density.

Density = Mass/Volume.
When you reduce the volume. The product of the equation will increase.

It increases. Water is one of the few substances that expands when it freezes, so the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.

i would say decrease, because water freezes and the density decreases, but ice doesnt contract, so i dont know

Same mass, smaller volume = bigger density.
