You want to roll soil with a weighted roller. You should be able to walk on the surface without making deep impressions with your foot. Remember the turf will also provide some stabilization so you're not looking to make the soil so compact that you leave no imprint. The soil needs to be compact enough to support the weight and traffic of the intended use and not sink during natural settling. It's an art and it's called horticulture. :)

Can you put sod over a straw blanket in spring?
You might consider that if you put straw down in fall, the straw will have decayed enough by spring. But in most areas, you would be mistaken. Sod is intended to be installed on soil that is free of other plants or organic refuse and has been roughed up slightly to encourage a good solid connection between the soil and the roots on the bottom of the sod. Sod is lifted with barely enough soil to keep the plants alive while they are moved and installed in their new location. The intent is that the roots will find soil below them to draw moisture and nutrition from when they are placed. If the location you want to put the sod is low-lying and overly wet, I would add soil and compost to raise the area and improve the drainage before installing the sod but be certain that most of what you are connecting to is pure soil.
