Would
Explanation
Here, we are looking for the correct form of the modal verb to use in the sentence '"_you like some sugar in your coffee?". Notice that the verb used in the sentence does not suggest obligation, necessity or advisability, typically the province of 'Should' or 'Must'. What we have here, is an offer-question - as indicated by the possibility of sugar in the coffee. English speakers would typically use 'Would' in such a context texting it as an offer or polite question which relates closely to the sentence in the question enrichment.
