Default water mass

I'd imagine the hot water molecules would have more energy, bounce around more and take up more space in the volume making it lighter than the denser cold water. The hot water would lose more molecules to evaporation as well, which would have a slight effect. I don't think relativity would come into it until molecules would be travelling at speed of light which is only seen in electrons in heavy metals such as thallium
