Pounds are weight and cups are volume (size). They are not convertible to each other unless you know the density of the substance being measured.

However, assuming that Crisco is a brand of shortening in this case, then the manufacturer says 1 teaspoon weighs 12 grams.

1 cup [US] = 48 Teaspoon [US]

so one cup [US] = 48*12 = 576 grams

1 gram = 0.00220462 pounds

576 grams = 576 * 0.00220462 = 1.26986112 pounds

So a pound of Crisco will measure less than a cup.
