That depends on many things. This question is too vague. Variables such as starting temp, surrounding environment temp, time it's been in the cup, and thickness of the styrofoam will change the answer

Which can transfer more heat a cup of boiling water or a cup of tap water?
A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.
Why does the water not leak from a styrofoam cup poked with a pin?
When the pin is pushed into the cup the polystyrene (Styrofoam) is temporarily pushed aside. When the pin is withdrawn the polystyrene reforms largely to its original location. If a drill was used, the same diameter as the pin and material was actually removed the cup would leak. Also the water tension of the water in front of a hole the size of a pin would prevent the water from leaking out.
Do thermos cup or styrofoam cup keep water hotter?
thermos cup
Can you boil water in a Styrofoam cup over an open flame?
No.You can boil water in a paper cup over a flame although you'll have more success if you have a steel grid in between so that the paper is heated evenly. The temperature at which paper burns is lower than that at which water boils so that the water keeps the paper too cool to catch light.If you try the same with a styrofoam cup, it will melt. Because styrofoam is a good insulator, the water can't keep it cool enough to prevent it melting.

What is the mass of a styrofoam cup filled with water?
The answer will depend on the size of the cup and, therefore, the quantity of water in it!
Will a metal cup or a styrofoam cup keep the hot water warm after a short time?
It is the Styrofoam cup as it is not a good conductor of heat but the metal cup is a good conductor of heat.

Why does styrofoam hurt your teath?
If you are sipping water or any liquid from a Styrofoam cup , you might feel hurt when water touches your teeth on every sip. This will especially happen if you are walking on carpets . The reason is that charge built-up on yourbody during walking or doing any motion . This cahrge is not transferred to the liquid as Styrofoam is highly insulating . This voltage difference is sensed by the nerves inside your teeth and they hurt. To avoid this keep a metal spoon inside the cup and keep a finger on the cup or touch your spoon before each sip . It wont hurt again . - M PATHAK
