Cans of coconut milk are often labeled 13.5 fl oz, often printed alongside 400 mL. That is about 1 2/3 cups: fill the 1 cup measure, add two 1/3 cups, then 1 teaspoon to hit it exactly.
Full-fat coconut milk separates in the can, with thick cream on top and thin liquid below. Shake the can or stir the contents in a bowl before measuring, or the first cup will be mostly cream.
If a curry recipe says "one can," use the whole thing and skip the measuring. If it asks for 1 1/2 cups, you will have about 3 tablespoons left over. More volumes are on the ounces to cups chart.
