it's a verb - compensar
The key here is the word "to" - to go, to see, etc., it's part of the name of the verb.

There are other ways to say it in Portuguese, but it is definitely a verb - in this case the "to" part corresponds to "para" in Portuguese - "para compensar..."

contrabalançar / compensar / equilibrar
Parece-me claramente ser um verbo, pelo que eu sugiro "contrabalançar / compensar / equilibrar".
