No there would not be any change in density. You are only changing the amount of volume it takes up.

Yes. The density of the crushed soda can will be more compared to the regular soda can.
Explanation:
Density = mass / volume
Now, mass of the can remains constant before and after crushing.
Therefore, Denisty is inversly proportional to volume(from the above equation).
The volume of the crushed soda can is less compared to the original can.
Thus the density increases when the can is crushed.

Density is defined as weight per volume . The weight of the regular can is the same as a crushed can, but the volume of the crushed can is much less than the regular can. It is therefore logical to conclude that the crushed can has a greater density than the regular can. This is also referred to as "bulk density".

None (so long as the regular can has been opened)
