The Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) is motivated by the premise that spacetime distortions near the Planck scale impose a lower bound on the achievable resolution of distances, leading to a minimum length. Inspired by a semiclassical method that integrates the GUP into the partition function by deforming its phase space, we induce a modification on the thermodynamic quantities of the MIT bag model that we propose serves as an effective semiclassical description of deconfined quark matter in a space with minimal length. We investigate the consequences of this deformation on the zero-temperature limit, revealing a saturation limit for the energy density, pressure and baryon number density and an overall decrease of the thermodynamic quantities, alongside a slight increase in the mass-radius relation of compact objects, providing enhanced stability against gravitational collapse. These findings extend existing research on GUP-deformed Fermi gases. Finally, we briefly outline the path towards a more generalized GUP framework capable of integrating a variety of particles and interactions. Theoretical implications of our work can be tested in the future at the HADES experiment at GSI and at the CBM experiment at FAIR.
