Explanation / Answer

There is a higher concentration of air molecules at lower altitudes, like at the sea level, than there is at a higher altitude as on the top of a mountain. Now, we know, density is given as mass/volume. This means density increases with increasing mass or decreasing volume. So, due to a greater concentration of air molecules at sea level, its density increases. So the bottle filled with air at sea level would have a higher density.
