Elastic modulus measures the resistance of the material to elastic—or “springy”—deformation. Low modulus materials are floppy and stretch a lot when they are pulled (squash down a lot when pushed). High modulus materials are opposite—they stretch very little when pulled (squash down very little when pushed).
