Density = Mass / volume
or
Mass = Density x Volume.
Since both items have the same volume, the one with the higher density will have the hiogher mass.
Ice floats on water. Which do you think has the higher density, ice or water?
The one with the higher density wil have more mass.

Due to strange properties of water
A liter of ice is less dense and has less mass.
A liter of water is more dense therefore has greater mass.
However in other situations a liter of a frozen substance is the densest and has more mass whereas a liquid state of that substance has less mass.
Like steel
Solid steel, dense more mass
Molten steel, less dense less mass

each molecule of water in ice forms 4 hydrogen bonds
two H's on other waters interact with oxygen (and the lone pair) and the two H's interact with other waters oxygen this spreads out the molecules.
liquid water only forms about 2 H-bonds allowing molecules to come closer, so liquid is more dense.

Liquid water is denser than ice, so a liter of liquid water would have greater mass.

Ice is more dense than water. A liter of ice has the greater mass. Think about it. When cells get cold they contract, to become more dense.

Water, no ice. No, water.
Well, I'm sure whichever one with the most density is also the one with more mass since they have the same volume.
So my final answer is.... Ice.
