If you mean outer space, it would eventually spread out until its own internal pressure was counteracted by its own gravity, or the gravity of another nearby body.

It would probably spread out so thinly that it couldn't really be measured.

It would spread out until it was evenly spread across the volume of the new space that it's in.

until its pressure reached the pressure of the space you released it into
