No you can not do that. You can only say that it is drawn at N times the average number density of solvent molecules. To determine N, find out the average grid.cube value in a region of pure solvent, let that value be A, and N=10/A.

Clearly you're trying to do a figure caption, and I'm sorry that the tool does not do this for you. There are technical issues that make it harder than you might think to automate although it certainly could be done.

You can estimate A by sliding the bar in VMD and A is next to where the bulk water disappears. This will give you an estimate that you can later use to ensure that your quantitative value is correct. To get the quantitative value, you'll probably need to run awk over the grid.cube file and average over a predefined section. Careful though, don't go all the way to the boundaries of the cube, the corners there are likely low density due to rotation from trjconv.

Dear Chris, thank you for information, they were very enlightening.
Just one more question. Suppose I use an isovalue, say 10, I can
say that the drawn surface is 10 times the average number density of solvent
molecules? I am using -div option.
