Don't get me wrong, but the atmosphere I live in is compressible. Air has a bulk modulus. For that matter so does water, but most people refer to it incorrectly as a "incompressible".

Unless the "atmosphere" that the tube is opened to at both ends is stated otherwise, I would start by assuming it to be air and therefore, compressible. (I hate assuming, but in this case I see no alternative)
