In general, 12 wire feeds are rated for 20 amps and protected by a 20 amp breaker.

The compressor specs say it draws 22 amps, and recommend a 30 amp breaker, which would typically be #10 wire.

If it's a long way to the panel, or if there is a 20 amp breaker on #12, you should probably address this.
