Compressing Bose-Einstein Condensates

If you took some incompressable material that takes up, say, exactly 1 liter, and you cooled them to the point where all of the atoms became Bose-Einstein Condensates (sorry if im using the name in a wrong way), what would happen if you compressed the container/forced the condensates into another container with a volume of 1 cup, and then heated the material (so when the waves become atoms again, there is not enough space for all the atoms)? Would the atoms break the container, or become some sort of superimposed atom, or something else?

No liquid above absolute zero is not completely inompressible since heat is movement and the molecules must have space to move. Heating a compressed substance would break the container, unless the container is so strong that the pressure keeps the substance cold.
