She says, "It's a fair cop," meaning, as I understand it, "they caught me
fair and square."  You can find this information in the book "Monty Python
and the Holy Grail (Book)", which contains the first and last versions of
the script, along with all the credits, financial information, and lots of
neat pictures.

By the way, the witch is Connie Booth.
