Stick one end of a wormhole in Venus's atmosphere, and the other end in the atmosphere of Mars, and you're in business - if you have the tech to pull that off, anyway. Was thinking of using that in a psi-tech setting, but it would be much harder to justify in TS.
Of course, given the pressures on Venus, you may need another place to dump the excess, once Mars is full, but you could also close the wormholes (save for transportation purposes), and use modified extremophile bacteria to precipitate more of the atmosphere to Venus's surface (which is well-within TS-tech's capabilities, and I think might be canon).
Shipping Venus's atmosphere to Mars using canon TS spacecraft would be rather expensive, to say the least.
