The MOSFET behaves like a resistor when switched ON (i.e. when Vgs is large enough; check the data sheet). Look in the data sheet for the value of this resistor. It's called Rds(on). It may be a very small resistance, much less than an Ohm. Once you know the resistance, you can calculate the voltage drop, based on the current flowing.
