There's no magnetic field in space so it would simply spin around.

A compass only works on a planet with a magnetic pole. In space there are all kinds of rays, beams and forces that would affect a compass that it wouldn't work anyway. Direction would be measured by taking measurements from stars whose movement, relative to our planet and any spaceship, is negligible and thus accurate.

The compass will point towards the suns north pole or Jupiter's because they both have magnetic fields depending which one you were closer to.
And if you were close to earth it would still point towards earths north pole. Depends where in space you are?

Since there is no gravity or magnetic North in space, your needle will glide wherever it wants to.Spin wherever it wants to, or not move at all unless pushed.

Earth direction is based on the poles.
There is no direction in infinity.
