Answer:
Gases can be compressed because they just take up whatever space is available to them. This is because gases consist of molecules that have too little interaction between them to stick together. They just move along until they collide, either with a wall or with each other. Compressing means that you move the walls in, which makes collisions more frequent (this is basically what we call pressure).
Under normal atmospheric pressure at room temperature, the molecules of regular gases take up only 0.1% of the space available.

The intermolecular force of attraction is lower in gases. The molecules are very loosely packed. Therefore gases can be compressed.
