Radioactive stuff, most probably, as it's glowing and gave the workers handling it some kind of illness.
It can be noticed that back in Tales to Astonish #35 (1962), one of the first Ant-Man comics, Pym was tasked to make a gas to render people immune to radioactivity, which probably implies studying of radioactive material first. Possibly Endgame was making a reference to that.

Pym has been established in the MCU to be a bit of a "mad genius" at times, tampering with iffy physics (failed Pym particles reduce their targets to goo, remember a certain sheep?). Thus, a (more boring) out-of-universe explanation is most likely to have a funny scene, where Pym and the viewers gradually realise what the package is, as the "unaware" person at the other end of the line still doesn't understand.

@RitWick maybe he meant the Tesseract package? I don't remember that part well, it seems. Pym likely to work on radioactive stuff can be expected by Tony and Cap though, as the guy's experiments, while genius, are a bit on the line sometimes.

Tesseract was already there for 70 years with SHIELD when Alexander Pierce says and is given to Dr. Mar-vel to work with. I am pretty sure it was not Tesseract.
