N2 versus H2O

For a given volume, isn't the mass of humid air less than the mass of dry air? After all, air is mostly N2 which as a molecule is certainly heavier than H2O. So....removing the gaseous water vapour from the cabin and expelling it outside the aircraft somehow will actually make the aircraft heavier, assuming the pressurization system maintains the same pressure
