How do liquid particles behave when under pressure?

When under pressure, liquid particles are pushed closer together, resulting in a decrease in volume. However, liquids are largely incompressible, meaning that the change in volume is minimal compared to gases. The particles maintain their ability to flow and slide over one another, allowing the liquid to retain its fluid properties even when subjected to high pressure. This behavior is governed by intermolecular forces, which keep the particles in close proximity while still allowing movement.
