Compressibility of air and compressibility of water which is more compressable and why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

compressibility is proportional to the change in volume due to change in pressure. Water is a liquit. volume is constant. Hence, compressibility = 0 air is a gas -> compressibility is non-zero. Hence, air is more compressible than water.
