A gas. Gas will expand to fill the available space.
Only liquid. Gas never has a definite volume. Both will always take the shape of their container though.A liquid
Yes, nitrogen has a definite volume in its gas phase as it fills up the container it is in. However, in its liquid or solid phase, nitrogen can take the shape of its container and does not have a definite volume.
In the liquid phase, matter has a definite volume but no definite shape, allowing it to flow and take the shape of its container. Liquids have high density compared to gases but lower density compared to solids. They exhibit surface tension and viscosity, and their particles are in constant motion but have some degree of attraction to each other.
The gaseous phase has molecules that will diffuse to fill their container. Gas particles are in constant, random motion and will spread out to occupy the available space uniformly.
The phase of matter with no fixed shape but fixed volume is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume because the particles are close together but can move past each other.

Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.
This is a good working description of the gaseous phase of matter. A sample of gas will assume the shape and volume of its container, so the sample has no shape or volume of its own.
Of the three classic phases or states (solid, liquid, gas), gases do not have a defined shape or volume, which is determined by the shape and volume of their containers. A sample will have a defined mass, and the volume into which that mass is confined determines the pressure of the gas.

The solid phase of matter has a definite volume and shape. Gas form has neither volume, nor shape, and liquid form has volume, but conforms to the shape of the container it is put in.
The state of matter that has no fixed shape but has a definite volume is a liquid. In a liquid, the particles are more loosely packed compared to a solid, allowing them to move and flow, taking on the shape of their container while maintaining a constant volume.

liquid phase
Usually***, solid. The shape is not changed under different pressures, and volume is nearly 100% unaffected by pressure. Liquids flow and change to the container, as does gas.
