There is an LC resonant tank connected at a power source at the resonant frequency and far away from it there is Another LC circuit with the same resonant frequency connected to a multimeter.
Assuming that there is no resistance and that all components are ideal the second coil will receive all the power radiated from the first coil?

Is this homework?

If you describes one of those tanks as a radio transmitter and the other one as a radio receiver, what would you say the answer is?

Of course not. The transmitted field is spread throughout space. Use the inverse-square law and ratio by the receive coil area.

Don't believe everything you read about wireless energy transmission (there is much more misinformation than good information about it), and don't believe what you see on YouTube.

But if there is a resonant circuit the field concentrates on the receiving coil

I don't know

It sounds like you don't understand the answer that @berkeman gave you. He's correct.
