Yes, Anne is correct ... many if not most vegetables become more dense when cooked. ie ... they "pack down". Leafy veggies like spinach, chard and kale especially will shrink quite a bit when cooked .. the one cup raw measure might only be ¼ cup after cooking. To measure a cupful after cooking, you'd have to add more. Brussels sprouts shrink less than spinach of course .. but it's likely that you'd need to start with 1½ cups raw to get 1 cup cooked.
