Hi Roshan,

Please update your code like below 
List<Account> accountIds = [Select Id from Account];

IF you want id only 
Map<Id,Account> mapAccount = new Map<Id,Account>([select id from account]);
Set<ID> SetACCID = new Set<ID>();
SetACCID = mapAccount.keySet();

Let us know if this will help you
