It depends on what type of volume you are looking for. If its liquid volume, then measure at the rim of the water. If its solid volume then fill the glass up to, well, 5 and slowly put the object in it. Lets says the water went up to 8. Then the volume would be 3.

To find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder, you can use the method of water displacement. Fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water, then carefully submerge the irregular object in the water. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the object. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to determine the volume of the irregular object.
By pouring a set amount of water into the cylinder then addin the object and seeing how much the volume changes. The amount of change is the volume of the object.
It is the displacement method.
To find the volume of an object using the overflow can method, you first fill a container with a known volume of water. Then, you submerge the object in the water, causing the water level to rise. The increase in water level represents the volume of the object. By measuring this increase in height and knowing the initial volume of water in the container, you can calculate the volume of the object using the formula for the volume of a cylinder (V = πr^2h).
The diameter, alone, is not enough to find the volume of a cylinder. You need the height as well. > Where pi = 3.1416, and d = cylinder diameter cylinder volume = pi * (d/2)2 * length of cylinder
