The answer depends on whether you mean a hexagonal pyramid or a hexagonal prism or some other shape involving hexagons.
1. Measure it... OR, if you have the volume already and it's an annoying problem-solving question: 2. Divide the volume by the area of one of the hexagonal faces
Assuming it's a regular hexagon, V= 6√3 x2h where x is one of the sides of the hexagonal base and h is the height of the box.

Hexagonal prisms and hexagonal pyramids are both polyhedra that feature hexagonal bases, which means they each have six sides in their base shape. They share similar geometric properties, including the ability to tessellate in certain arrangements. Additionally, both types of solids can be characterized by their vertical height and their volume can be calculated using base area and height formulas. However, they differ in that a prism has two parallel hexagonal bases, while a pyramid has one hexagonal base and converges to a single apex point.
The answer depends on what information you do have about the pyramid.
Volume = Area of base x height
The formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal prism is to take the area of the hexagon, then multiply it by the height of the prism.
area of base x h
use the formula: Volume=1/3 x(times) the area of the base x(times) height (V=1/3Bh) plug in the numbers

The volume of any prism is worked out in the same way whether it's a hexagonal prism, circular prism or a triangular prism. You just need to times the length of the prism against the area of the cross-section.
