How much smaller can you compress a particle such as a

compressed?

You don't need to think in terms of compressed particles. Around the
epoch of the big bang, there was supposedly nothing but an energy
soup. In that hot, high energy state, particles as we understand them
didn't actually exist. It was only through the various symmetry
breakings as the universe expanded and cooled that we arrived at the
universe we have today. One of these symmetries involved particles
and antiparticles, which, after breaking, allowed for more particles
than antiparticles. That's the main reason we seem to have a universe
dominated by matter rather than antimatter.
