Restore *all* SMP and target data sets from a backup. But unless you
were updating a live system[1], there's no need to back out anything.
Expand the directory[2] of the relevant data set and rerun the APPLY.
Depending on what went TU, you may need to specify REDO.

That's a good way to dig yourself in deeper. Don't do it unless you
know exactly what you're doing, and the initial question pretty much
promises that you don't. Play it safe.
[1] A truly dangerous thing to do.
[2] Check how big the PDS is after compress; you might want to
give it more space as well.
