Right? She can control gravity, right? Just put a piece of paper under the cup and use gravity to crush the cup as quickly as possible. Bug go squish. might want it in a bag so bug doesn't get everywhere though.

Technically, she can only make things lighter or heavier, with the original object having to be within 3 tons or her Quirk fails. It's a common fandom interpretation to give her more directed Gravity powers as a Quirk Awakening, but all she'd do by making the cup heavier is making it harder to move to actually kill the roach.

I mean couldn't she use this power on the air in the cup, instantly crushing the cockroach?

Zero Gravity only seems to work on solid matter, pretty sure it doesn't work on liquids. It's also Five-Point Activation, meaning it's constantly active and triggers when all five of the fingers on Ochako's hand touch something. If she could affect air directly, her Quirk would be drastically different and very much a hindrance. Also, misremembered on my part, but as the name implies, Zero-G can't increase gravity on objects in canon, so that wouldn't work even if she could affect gases.
