Less than you would if you did want to make a watercolor-ish painting.
Seriously, it's going to depend on the brand of paint, the individual pigment, your brush, your intent, etc etc. Use as much or as little water as it takes to get the paint to do what you need it to do.That's one of the advantages of acrylics, they're incredibly forgiving when it comes to technical issues.
