If the rock is small enough to be put into the cylinder, then fill the cylinder first with water to a known level (the graduations will usually indicate the volume). Then slowly drop the rock into the cylinder without splashing. Now read the level of the water (again the graduations will usually indicate the volume). Subtract the first reading from the second and that would be the volume of the rock.
