Every plasmid has a copy number that reflects the average number of copies of a certain plasmid inside a host cell(usually

a bacterial cell). So a multicopy

plasmid, exist in multiple copies in any given bacteria. It is believed that the higher the copy number is, the more efficient the plasmid is at replicating itself.
