Because the effect of gravity doesn't really care about density -- all objects are accelerated at the same rate (ignoring wind resistance). Since the cup is feeling wind resistance, but the water isn't (since it's in the cup), the water is experiencing "positive" g-forces, even while falling. So gravity keeps the water in the cup.
