That depends entirely on what is being measured because gallons is a measure of volume whereas pounds is a measure of weight. For example, 2.5 pounds of styrofoam will fill more gallons than would 2.5 pounds of sand.

The question, as stated, cannot be answered sensibly. A gallon is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A pound is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a gallon of air and of water. They will have very different masses.
