Let's say that I'm on the train and I'm sitting next to a girl... One moment, I want to go to toilet but i have a bag that i cannot take it along with me..

"Could you watch my bag please?" The 'please' is important, otherwise you would seem very rude and the girl might toss your bag out the window instead. If you said "keep it", it means the bag is now hers. The common expression is "to keep an eye on something". It sounds funny if it's changed.

you could say "excuse me, could you do me a favor and watch my bag (keep an eye on my bag) for a minute please?" be sure to thank her when you get back :)

"Can you keep an eye on my bag please?" "Would you mind looking after my bag for a few minutes please?" Or perhaps... "Touch my bag and I'll kill you!!" :)))))))))))))
