When a block of ice floating on water in a container melts what happens to the volume of water in the container it increases or decreases?

Strictly speaking, the volume of water will increase. For example, if you have a 200 gram chunk of ice floating in 1000 ml of water, the volume of the water itself is 1000 ml. When the ice melts, the volume of water will be 1200 ml.
However, if you're asking whether the water level in the container will go up or down, the answer is "neither." The ice displaces an amount of water equal to the mass of the ice. When the ice melts, the mass does not chance, so the amount of the original water displaced by the melted ice does not change. Hence, the water level will remain the same.
