In short i can say, Nothing will happen, The level of the glass will be same.
Reason/Explanation :- For better understanding , I am taking two cases for same purpose.
Case - (I) When small stone added into water
If you drop small stone into a glass which filled upto the brim level, still nothing will happens. Because stone has the property to absorbs water without any volumetric changes.
There will be strong cohesive force works between water and the stone.
Case (II) - When coin is added into water
In the same case , If you drop a Coin into a glass of water, water will spill out. Due to surface tension , water will be overflow .
Here the adhesive force works which increases the density.
You can demonstrate this experiment in your home also. Try it , have a fun with science :-)
Hope it Helps.

Answer:
The water level will drop slightly as the ice melts.
Explanation:
One interesting property of water is that it achieves maximum density as a liquid, not as a solid. So, ice is less dense than water and floats. When it melts, it becomes more dense. More mass per unit volume means the level of the liquid drops slightly.
