Almost like you do in vi, except that the syntax is a little different.
>From the mutt manual, section 3.20 Setting Variables:

    Using the enter-command function in the index menu, you can query the
    value of a variable by prefixing the name of the variable with a
    question mark:

         set ?allow_8bit

    The question mark is actually only required for boolean variables.

Note that in order to enter the enter-command function, you must first
type a colon, so the example above would be typed

    :set ?allow_8_bit

And for non-boolean variables, you can omit the question mark, e.g.,

    :set pager
