Asking "what is the density of a gas" is just like asking "what is the density of a liquid or solid". This entirely depends on what gas it is and only in the case of gases, what temperature and pressure it is at too.

Here's what happens when some quantity of a gas is compressed into a cylinder.

(The term "amount" in the question is rather slippery.)

-- The mass of the gas doesn't change.

-- The weight of the gas doesn't change.

-- The density of the gas increases.

-- The volume of the gas decreases.

-- The temperature of the gas, or its pressure, or both, must increase.

-- The cost of the gas most likely increases too.

when a gas is compressed its volume decreases if we decrease it slowly then we say that it is isothermal compression therfore PV=comstant otherwise PVY=cons
