switch to transparent view. make new extrusion from bottom interior face to top face as a new part and measure that new part.

You an make a new part from insides of object then ask for volume information. I usually exclude this type of part from BOM to avoid confusion later.

Looks like you already have it in the screenshot you posted: 1.554e-4 cubic meters.
that is the volume of the wall material.
the enclosed volume is much higher. apparently there is no tool that gives you this info, someone suggested making the object solid and using the above tool, then hollow.
