This honesty-based question is meant to test your character and reveal how you deal with awkward or uncomfortable situations. If you have found yourself in a situation like this, you can draw on that story for your reply. Be careful not to name any names or throw anyone under the bus, as you can rarely recover from unsavory behavior like that in an interview.

"I believe an honorable person will do what is right even when nobody is looking. The pharmaceutical industry deserves only honorable graduates. For that reason, I would tell a superior if I found a classmate cheating."

There are only two ways to answer this question. First, you can approach the classmate privately and tell them what you saw, giving them a chance to explain themselves. If they were cheating, you could give them the ultimatum to approach your professor, or you will do so. Secondly, you can avoid a confrontation with your classmate and go straight to the professor with your findings. How you respond depends on your personality, morals, and values.
