I'm 99percent that you will be heavier.

Which is the more fundamental quantity mass or weight?
Mass is more fundamental than weight. Weight depends on mass, but mass does not depend on weight. A 1kilogram object will have less weight than a 2kilogram object no matter where they both are, so weight depends on mass. However, a single object with differing weight forces, for example a 1kilogram object taken from a hill to a valley, will have constant mass, so mass does not depend on weight. This is the case because weight is proportional to the distance to the source of gravity, which on the surface of Earth is the distance to Earth's center of mass. Since the top of a hill is farther from the center than the bottom of a valley, the object on the hill will experience less weight force than the same object in the valley.
What is the weight of a 40 kg object on the moon?
How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
What does mass and weight have to do with the law of gravity?
Mass is the amount of matter in the object. Weight measurement of force that gravity is exerting on the object.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
What will happen to the weight of an object if you take the object to the deepest valley of the earth?
Since the weight of an object is calculated as the product of its mass times the mass of the Earth divided by the square of the distance between the object being weighed and the center of the Earth, almost no perceivable change will occur. This is because the two masses do not change, and the square of the distance from the Earth's center changes only slightly even in the deepest valley.
What will happen if the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces?
It will sink.
What has to happen for an object to float?
For an object to float, it must displace an amount of fluid equal to its weight. This is known as Archimedes' principle. If the weight of the object is less than the weight of the fluid it displaces, the object will float; if the object is denser than the fluid, it will sink.
What would happen if the reaction force was less than weight?
If a structure on which an object rests is not capable of sustaining the weight, the object would break through.
What would happen if the weight of an object was less than its buoyant force?
The object would float in a given liquid.
What happen if the buoyant force of a fluid is less than the weight of an object placed in the fluid?
The object will sink in the fluid.
What will happen if the buoyant force of a liquid is less than the weight of an object placed in that fluid?
The object will sink in the fluid.
What will happen if the buoyant force of a fluid is less than the weight of an object placed in the fluid according to Archimedes' principle?
Then the object will sink.
What is the weight of an object in Death Valley?
Very slightly less than at sea level since if you are on the floor of the valley, you are closer to the centre of the Earth, but the difference would be almost impossible to measure
If the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces what will happen?
It will sink, because it has a greater density (the same volume weighing more)
Is the weight of an object the frictional force on the object?
No the weight of an object has nothing to do with friction. Weight is the gravitational attraction of the object and the planet.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to at planet with twice the gravity of earth?
Nothing would happen to mass, but as weight is technically a force due to gravity, based on mass, the weight would be doubled, but again mass would remain the same.
