You can measure its dimensions, then calculate the volume from a formula for the specific shape of the container, or you could fill it up with water, then pour that water into a graduated cylinder or other calibrated measuring instrument. Or if you know the density of water in your room (it varies with temperature, and any contaminants in the water), then you could measure the mass of the container, then fill it up with water and measure the mass again. Subtract the mass of the container and then divide by the density to determine the volume. Density of pure water is approximately 1 gram/cm3.
