If water had a lower specific heat capacity would lakes be more likely or less likely to freeze in winter?

More likely; a lower heat capacity means that less energy must be transferred to result in a temperature change. If less energy needs to be removed then it is easier for the surroundings to absorb it and make the lakes freeze.
