Heat will flow from the air in the container into the cube.

Explanation:

Heat flows from places with higher temperature to places with lower temperature.

With that information in mind then we can see that the cube of copper has a lower temperature than the air in the container (85°C > 5°C), thus heat will flow into the cube.
