An off peak return rail fare is £207.70 - you can buy this on the day. Judicious use of split ticketing/advance purchase might reduce this to about half. Specific dates would help - there are too many variables otherwise.
The journey can be done in a day/overnight as desired.
The coach fare is around £80 return and involves an overnight journey each way
There are flights as well - maybe around the same price as the standard train

Just had a brief look but looking at this you can fly £59 E/W Though I think you would probably be doing £76 E/W.
As I say I just had a cursory look but you may be able to do better.

As has been stated, Air Southwest operates on that route:
http://www.airsouthwe...k&utm_campaign=nqyweb
(It's the ONLY airline on that route, so it's pointless looking for air fares anywhere than on that site).
Standard fares, with Air Southwest, are usually £59 or £76, depending upon the day of travel. However that assumes booking well in advance. You need to add on a card handling fee of £1 per flight if booking with a debit card, or £4 per flight if using a credit card. Additionally you have to pay a £5 'Airport Development Fee' when departing from Newquay (but not from Glasgow).
Dzug2 has provided the off-peak 'walk up' return fare of £207.70. The 'anytime' fare is £404.00 but it seems that the off-peak fare covers most (and possibly all) trains anyway. The availability of discounted advance fares seems to be extremely limited but, on a random sample date I looked at on the National Rail website, it was possible to pay £94.00 outbound and £89.00 return, making £183.00 in total. (There are actually cheaper fares but they involve getting stuck at a London mainline station overnight).

As Dzug2 indicates, it might be possible to pay less by buying separate tickets between Glasgow & London and between London & Newquay but, on the random date I selected, I couldn't do so.
You can get from Glasgow to London for £9 each way (or sometimes for only £5) if you book early on Megabus:

The fare between London and Newquay is likely to be either £5 or £10.
However you'd spend nearly a full day travelling if you did it that way.
National Express coach fares start from £39.15 each way but that again involves a very lengthy journey (of around 20 hours), including overnight travel.
