Ventilation and time. Lots and lots of scented soap might help.
(For the uninitiated, butanoic acid smells like rancid butter. Another description would be "vomit.")
Reacting it with methanol produces a rather pleasant pineapple-like scent, but since this is an equilibrium, to drive it toward the ester requires a powerful dehydrating agent like concentrated sulfuric acid. This may not be feasible, depending on what the butanoic acid is on.
