If Lucia constructed line segment \( \overline{CD} \) as a copy of line segment \( \overline{AB} \), then it means that the lengths of \( \overline{AB} \) and \( \overline{CD} \) are equal. Therefore, the correct statement is:

\( AB = CD \).

This is true because a "copy" in geometric construction using a straightedge and compass means that the two segments have the same length. Hence, the answer is:

AB = CD.
