We know that the force exerted by the piston is equal to the pressure times the area. Thus, $W = P A \Delta x$. But $A\Delta x$ is just volume (in this case, negative, as volume is decreasing). So, $W = -P \Delta V$.

However, this assumes constant pressure. For a non-constant perssure, $P(V)$, we know that $W = \int F dx = - \int P(V) dV$.
