The Pauli exclusion principle causes the neutrons to resist further compression. That is, the neutrons, being identical fermions, can't all be put in the same state. So to get them closer and closer together you have to go into higher and higher energy states.

The neutron is a subatomic particle , symbol n or n 0 , with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton. Protons and neutrons constitute the nuclei of atoms . Since protons and neutrons behave similarly within the nucleus, and each has a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit , they are both referred to as nucleons.
Their properties and interactions are described by nuclear physics.
