If a sealed balloon with some Liquid Nitrogen in it was placed on a scale and weighed say, 1g, although the Nitrogen would soon expand into a gas inflating the balloon, the scale would still register 1g.
So, as long as any gasses within the coffin didn't break the seal it too would still weigh the same.
