The density of a fluid will increase according to applied pressure.
Even water can be compressed so much that it eventually turns into a metallic substance.
Compressed fluids will however not remain in this state when pressure is released.

Does a fluid's density change when it is compressed and attenuated?
Yes it does change because its mass does not change but its volume does. When it is compressed the density will increase because its volume does. When it is attenuated will decrease because the volume does. Density is mass over volume. Remember: it only works because its mass stays the same and the volume changes.
What do you mean when you say that a fluid is incompressible?
Nothing is inincompressible For practical propose, it defined water as incompressible since its' compressibility is very low. To compressed water down to 99/100 of original volume you would need a pressure of 217 Bar approximately. Any normal pressure vessel would burst at such pressure. It is then considered water as incompressible.
Why stuff sinks and floats?
-- When the density of the stuff is less than the density of the fluid you drop it into, then it'll float in the fluid. -- When the density of the stuff is greater than the density of the fluid you drop it into, then it'll sink in the fluid.
What happens when a fluid is compressed?
It tries to spread out in the container.
Does density tie in with viscosity?
Fluid behavior is related to both density and viscosity. By using the kinematic and dynamic viscosity of a fluid, the density can be calculated.

If chlorine gas is compressed does its density increase?
Yes It does increase. http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/fluid/ While this website doesn't include chlorine, any gas that is compressed will increase in density. Different gasses all have different compression-density relationships, but all gasses that are compressed will increase in density.
When gaseous molecules are compressed they tend to?
They tend to change density, temperature or energy.
What determines the amount of pressure in a fluid?
change in elevation and change in density
What would you expect to change a liquid density?
temperature of the fluid.
How does the density of the air change in the Cartesian Diver experiment?
As the "diver" descends, air density inside the diver's capsule increases as it is compressed.
Would you expect to change a liquid's density?
The temperature of the fluid
How does density change with different objects?
The density changes with different objects as all have different mass and volume(the space an object occupies) and the more compressed(Compact) the object is the more density it has.
Which you expect to change a liquids density?
Study island answer: Temperature of the fluid
Is sand a compressible fluid?
Can be compressed but not a fluid
If 100 grams of water is poured from an 8 ounce can into a 16 ounce glass by what amount does the density of the fluid change?
The density remain unchanged.
Must the flow of a compressible fluid be treated as compressible?
No, if the pressure difference results in a density change of less than thirty percent (30%) the fluid may be treated as incompressible by assuming the density of the fluid equals the average density and that the density is constant.
