The mass (amount) of the water in the container doesn't change, no matter where it goes. The water might change state, say from liquid to solid (ice) during the voyage, depending on what vehicle was used to carry the container. The container could be distorted or ruptured by such a state change, allowing some or all of the water to escape.

If some of the water were to escape from the hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar, the sum total of the mass of the water remaining in the jar plus the mass of the portion that escaped would still be equal to the mass of everything that was in the jar when it was sealed.
