According to some sites the water temperature the day The Titanic sank, was about -2°C (28°F). If the temperature in a body reaches below 35°C (95°F) one gets hypothermia. According to Wikipedia, that happens within 15-30 minutes in that cold water.

The answer to your question is that it took about 15-30 minutes for the people in the water to die when the Titanic sank.

EVEN THOUGH IT NEVER REALLY HAPPENED here is the stats on what realistically did happen to a lot of people.

The majority of deaths were caused by hypothermia in the 28 °F (−2 °C) water.[54] At this water temperature, death could be expected in less than 15 minutes.[55]

Many hours for it to sink and days or weeks to fully freeze!
