That's not how this works. With deniable encryption, it is entirely possible that there doesn't even exist a hidden volume to find. They will be unable to prove he has a hidden volume and surely a judge will not compel him for not producing something he may not be able to at all.

Check out, for example, the case of Martin Armstrong, held for 7 years in contempt of court for not producing items he said he didn't have. Eventually he had to enter a plea agreement and serve an additional 5-year term.
