What is free path? And what is mean free path?

We have $0.5 \, g$ of hydrogen gas in a cubic chamber of size $3 \, cm$ kept at $NTP$. The gas in the chamber is compressed keeping the temperature constant until a final pressure of $100 \, atm$ is reached. Is one justified in assuming the ideal gas law in the final state? (Hydrogen molecules can be considered as spheres of radius $1 \, \mathring{A}$).
