It'd be like very, very compressed air, considering it is a solid material. CO2 cartridges IRL have about 12 grams of CO2 of a density of about 0.683 grams per cubic centimeter, pressure around 1000 PSI at 80F. I would guess from the way it is handled, that it is about 3 times denser, so just a guess, but we're talking around 3000+ PSI, which could either bludgeon or pierce depending on the focus and amount used.

Tl;dr: I hate having to get all in-depth with the math for this stuff, because there is a lot of potential error, but think about it this way: Air dust is very powerful, and it all depends on the shape. I'd imagine it could be focused to pierce, or spread to smack things. If you mean being hit by an actual piece of the dust, however, I'd almost always imagine it'd be like a contact explosion.
