Best Answer

The rate at which water freezes depends on the thermal conductivity of the container. Plastic is generally not very thermally conductive, whereas aluminum foil is more thermally conductive. Thus, as long as the foil is not very much thinner than the plastic, the water will freeze faster in the foil.

If the plastic reaches a high enough temperature it will still melt even if it is covered in aluminum foil. However, the aluminum foil may reflect some light lowering its temperature.
