    The spoon will be covered with water and the towel will get wet due to the condensation of water vapor from the humid air.

    Explanation:

    Amending the typo, the question is "If the day is humid, and you took out a freezing spoon, and put it on a towel, what would happen?"

    Humid air contains high concentration of water vapor, which is water in gaseous state.

    At higher temperatures the air can contain more water vapour than at lower temperatures.

    When the air with a high content of humidity cools down it cannot retain all the water vapor and part of it becomes liquid. This is the change of phase named condensation.

    The humid air around the spoon will cool down: the heat flows from the hotter air to the freezing spoon; the spoon gets warmer and the air gets colder.

    Therefore, part of the water vapor of the moist air surrounding the spoon will condense and wet the spoon and the towel.
