The flask covered with plastic wrap will contain more water that the flas left exposed.

Explanation:

Both flask will undergo evaporation of the water inside them into gas. The plastic wrapped flask will have the gaseous water condense back to water and return to the flask while the exposed flask will have the moisture evaporate into the air around it.
