well, others might have told you it is pressure, and actually even i would have gone for it!
but since you have mentioned in particular on a fluid, then this ratio can also be called as Bulk's modulus(though this applies even to solids)
it can also be the coeff of viscosity taken velocity gradient times
there can be various other depictions also

Pressure = force/area

Pressure, in mechanics, the force per unit area exerted by a liquid or gas on a body or surface, with the force acting at right angles to the surface uniformly in all directions. In the British system, pressure is usually measured in pounds per square inch (PSI); in international usage, in kilograms per square

It is pressure. In SI units it is measured in Pascal or N/m^2
