well,

you might be able to thin it down with some air brush thinner. But not too much

If you are able to get the paint back into some sort of useable mixture by adding thinner, make sure you strain it before attempting to airbrush with it.

I usually simply toss it out, and buy a new container.
I guess in a pinch if you need a little to touch up, or finish a piece, you could try a little thinner to see if it comes back to life.
But I don't know if you could get it good enough to spray.
