The mass will be the same, because mass is a measurement of how much material an item consists of.
Weight will be different, because weight is a measurement of the total gravitational pull of an item.
Assuming the gravitational pull is the same, the amount of mass is proportional to the pull, so mass and weight are used relatively interchangeably on earth, where gravity is 1G.
On Mars, gravity is 0.376G, which means that weight measurements will be different by 0.376x (about one third)…. assuming the amount of material (mass) is the same.
