This situation illustrates a resource dilemma because the five students share a common resource (ice) and have to decide how to allocate it among themselves. They have made a pact to refill the ice trays, but the dilemma arises when they don't have the time or energy to do so. This leads to a scarcity of the resource and a potential conflict over how to distribute it fairly.
