All of them.
- Volume and density together set the mass (m = density × volume), and mass with specific heat (c) gives the heat capacity (mc), which controls how much energy is needed to change temperature.
- Specific heat determines how much energy is needed per unit mass for a given temperature change.
- Contact area and time affect how much heat can be transferred between the substances (and thus how quickly their temperatures change).
