It means you have a "vacuum bubble" in your simulation, indicative of
insufficient equilibration. Does the message really say "....", or is
something else there? It's hard to say much, since we don't know anything
about your system, or about what sort of equilibration you have done.

You can't. The density that is achieved after NPT equilibration will be
what ever is preferred by the force field you choose. If you really want
to run a simulation at the experimental density (most people don't), then
you would need to set up a system with the proper volume, and use the NVT
model to keep the density fixed.
