Gets closer together. If enough pressure is put on the gas in closed environment, it will increase in heat which will cause more kinetic energy and eventually particles will not be able to float past eachother (becomes liquid).

The gas molecules are closer together and the gas temperature is raised by the work of compression, unless the compressed gas is passed through a heat exchanger to remove the heat.

It is a lot more simple than you think. The particles are squeezed closer together.

Compress them enough and generally they become a liquid

The same as would happen to you. You would heat up, assuming your volume didn't change.
Or you would get squeezed into a smaller space, asuming your temperature didn't change.
Or a combination of the above.

they get agitated and create more heat to to the increased friction. also creating more pressure.

kinetic energy increased

they become volatile
