The steam is cooled in the ice water and condenses to a small quantity of liquid water. Condensation of steam to liquid water creates a vacuum inside the can. Atmospheric pressure outside the can is around 760 mm Hg, while pressure inside the can is much less. The can collapses because of the pressure difference.
