Cop or Cup?

Hello,

I have difficulty distinguishing the short O sound from the short U sound.
Could you please listen to the following audio clip and tell me what she says? Cop or Cup?

It is. It is also worth mentioning that the short O sound has different pronunciations in North American English and British English.

Yes, very true, but short U shouldn't be a problem because it's different from both of those Os.
