Woah homework question. Ya it should be, the volume is bigger

Depend on the settings of microwave oven.
:) The energy "microwave" emitten by the microwave oven helps vibrate the water molecules. That's how heating up of food works.
If the amount of total energy emitted by the oven is less than the total amount of energy require to vibrate the water molecules to you desired temperature in kelvin, then the both cup of water will be less 'hot'.
If the amount of total energy emitted by the oven exceed the amount of energy require to vibrate the water molecules in both cups, then both cups of water will be equally hot.
P.s. depend on your microwave oven settings

If you put 2 cups of water in 2 separate cups in the microwave and heat, you will get water equally as hot as heating up 1 cup of water.
But if you put 2 cups of water in 1 big cup and heat it, you will get water that is not as hot as 1 cup of water alone.

The settings. The timing.
The volume of the water. Tap water, previously boiled water.
The position of the cups on the revolving dish.
All these affect how the water heats up.

Actually, you need to very careful when heating water in microwave. I watched a program on TV a while ago showing the water get superheated in microwave and boiled out of the container that caused severe burn.
Do a search on the internet about it. In the mean time, found this article online to to boil water in microwave safely.

Yes I believe so.
The cup question and the timing setting make you confused.
Look at it this way.
Lets say,
You put 1 cup.
The cup is half empty.
Now put 1 big cup with water full to its brim.
Dont u think there is a difference ?
The microwave will not auto-adjust or change its settings. So there should be a difference.

That was with the use of pure water. You're not going to get pure water anywhere unless you make your own, not even NEWater is pure.
But I would never try it with fiji brand natural artesian water. It retails for I think 2.90 a bottle. Its so pure, you can stick it in the freezer, and it won't turn to ice unless you disturb it.

how i know...

I tried it on FnN ice moutain drinking water, OMFG its so pure it blows up!!
I tried the freezer experiment on it too, OMFG it freezes only when its disturbed.
