An MP3 file would take a lot less space (about one tenth of the corresponding WAV file) but to get this compression rate MP3, like other lossy compression algorithms, such like Ogg Vorbis or WMA, throws away part of the sound information. This means that if you rip an Audio CD track to a FLAC file, that file will retain the same quality of the original (CD quality), like a WAV file, but it will take less space, usually about one third of the corresponding WAV file.
