The tendency of the gases i.e., the ability to get compressed in smaller volumes is known as compressibility .
What is compressibility?
Compressibility is the amount by which a given volume of matter decreases when subjected to pressure . When we apply pressure to a solid or a liquid , there is almost no change in volume .
Since the particles of the gases are packed very loosely and there is plenty of space between the molecules , the gases are more compressible .
When gases are compressed , their molecules will move very close to each other, and because their intermolecular space is larger than that of liquids and solids, they can be compressed more than either . As a result, gases have a tendency to be squeezed or forced into smaller volumes .
Thus, the answer is compressibility .

Compressibility is the property that allows gases to be squeezed into smaller volumes. This occurs because gas molecules are widely spaced, enabling them to be forced closer together under pressure. This concept is crucial in understanding how gases behave in different environments.
