Yes, definitely cold water. Hot water could crack your windscreen.

Hot water can alter the structure of the strengthening in toughened glass.(this is visible if you wear polorized sunglasses.) So even if you think that you have not done any damage by putting hot water on your screen , just wait until the next stone hits it !
