bulk modulus
Bulk modulus is a measure of a material's resistance to uniform compression. It is defined as the ratio of the infinitesimal pressure increase to the resulting relative decrease of the volume. Essentially, it quantifies how incompressible or elastic a material is when subjected to uniform pressure. The higher the bulk modulus, the more incompressible the material is.
