A lava lamp, however made, is an object, and so the idea of an hypothesis is not applicable. You use an hypothesis in an investigation, which is a process.
this is the model of a volcano's lava.
cup
The problem of lava in a cup is that it is extremely hot and can cause burns if touched. Additionally the rapidly expanding heat from the lava can cause the cup to break creating a potentially dangerous situation. The following are some of the issues associated with having lava in a cup: The lava is too hot to touch without causing burns. The heat from the lava can cause the cup to crack or break. The lava can cause the cup to become very hot to the touch making it difficult to handle. The lava can cause the cup to become brittle and break easily. The lava can also cause smoke or steam to be released which can cause irritation to the eyes nose and throat.When dealing with lava in a cup it is important to take the necessary precautions to ensure safety. This includes wearing protective gloves and eye protection keeping the cup away from flammable materials and keeping the cup in a safe place away from children and pets.

A hypothesis for a science project is a proposed explanation made on limited evidence as a starting point for the investigation. The best hypothesis for a science project of a lava lamp would be based off of the given information and a prediction of the result of the investigation.
yes
It's only an experiment if 2 or more conditions are compared. Lava in a cup is a science observation or demonstration. To make it an experiment, you would have to compare 2 conditions, for example lava cups with salt vs. lava cups with baking soda while keeping all other variables constant.
