The entropy increases. The runny water is more disordered than the rigid ice-cube and entropy is like disorder so there is more entropy too.

Another way of looking at it is this. The ice melts because it is in a warmer room. It is natural for all things in a room to get to the same temperature. Things which happen to get back to the natural state are usually things where entropy increases.
