There is no definite answer to this question because evaporation rate depend on the temperature, surface area, pressure and also convection wind-speed. However, given same condition in compare to water, judging from it's vapour pressure of approximately 25 kPa, it is 10 fold of water at room temperature and it should evaporate 10 time faster than water.
PS. For safety reason, do this experiment in a ventilated area or in designated fume cupboard and have fire extinguisher at hand.

What evaporates faster water or nail polish?
At standard temperature and pressure in a normal atmosphere, acetone will evaporate faster than water. Evaporation rates of various liquids are frequently specified relative to the evaporation rate of butyl acetate at 20 C. By that measurement, the evaporation rate of acetone is 5.6 and the evaporation rate of water is 0.3.
What is the normal rate of evaporetion?
The normal rate of evaporation is dependent on many factors. First, every type of molecule has a different rate of evaporation. For example, acetone has an evaporation rate of 3.0 while water has an evaporation rate of 0.3. You can find a complete listing of each molecule's evaporation rate at your local library. You can also find this information in most laboratories as well.
What happens if acetone is kept open?
the acetone inside the bottle will disappear (acetone-carbon dioxide (co2)) or (liquid to gas)-(evaporation also known as sumblimation)
What happens when the rate of evaporation of a liquid as the liquid is cooled?
Rate of evaporation depends on temperature. As Temp decreases, so does the rate of evaporation.
Theory of gas diffusion coefficient of acetone using winkelmann method?
The theory of gas diffusion coefficient of acetone using the winkelmann method is to diffuse the gas into a volatile liquid. This can be done by confining the liquid in a small narrow tube and observing the rate of evaporation.
How a warm day affect rate of evaporation?
The rate of evaporation increases
How does increase in temperature surface area wind speed affect evaporation?
These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)
How does temperature affect the rate of evaporation?
The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of evaporation. It is
What conditions will increase the rate of evaporation?
Heat speeds up the rate of evaporation.
How does the quality of water affect the rate of evaporation. Should it be considered for determining the rate of evaporation?
if quality of water reduce the evaporation will decrase
What in a dynamic equilibrium between the liquid state and the gas state the rate of evaporation is?
the rate of evaporation will be equal to the rate of condensation
Does the rate of evaporation of a liquid decreases as the temperature decrease?
Yes, the evaporation rate slows at lower temperatures.
