1 个或者 2 个。

1 个：若字符串常量池中已经存在了 "abc" 这个值，则只会在 Java 堆上创建 1 个对象。
2 个：若字符串常量池中没有 "abc" 这个值，则会创建 2 个对象，一个是字符串常量池中的对象，一个是 Java 堆上的。

字符串常量池是这篇文章的基础，关于字符串常量池请先阅读这篇文章：

我们先看这个代码：

public class StringTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = new String("abc");
    }
}

我们先编译，然后利用 javap -verbose StringTest 查看结果：

public class com.skjava.demo.skjavademo.java.jichu.StringTest
  minor version: 0
  major version: 52
  flags: ACC_PUBLIC, ACC_SUPER
Constant pool:

   #3 = String             #17            // abc
