   Is [have] pronounced the same in  [What do you have to say?] in the two   
   meanings?   
   -- meaning 1. (What must you say?)   
   -- meaning 2. (Have you anything to say?)

   Yes, the word "have" is pronounced the same in both meanings.   
      
   In both "What do you have to say?" (meaning 1: What must you say?) and   
   "Have you anything to say?" (meaning 2: Have you anything to say?), the   
   word "have" is pronounced with the same vowel sound and stress. There is   
   no difference in pronunciation based on the intended meaning.
