You can compress matter in any state because matter is mostly empty space. However, because it takes so much pressure to compress liquids and solids, they are said to be incompressible.

The gaseous state of matter is readily compressible.

Matter is compressible in all states. However, gases are the most compressible, followed by liquids, and then solids. The compressibility of a substance depends on its molecular arrangement and the forces between its particles.
