rigidity can be defined as the inability to be bent or to be forced out of shape
eg Solid state has high rigidity & Gaseous state has no rigidity
compressibility is the measure of how much the volume of a given substance decreases when placed under pressure
eg Solids have no or very low compressibility & gasses have very high compressibility
density can be defined as the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance
eg Solids have high density & Gasses have very less density
I hope this will help you.

Rigidity: The property of substances being stiff and resistive towards stress.
Compressibility: The property of substance which shows how much the volume of a substance can be reduced by the application of force.
Density: The ratio between mass and volume or mass per unit volume.
Solids are very rigid but gases are not rigid.
Gases are highly compressible but solids are incompressible.
Solids have high density & Gases have low density.
