If you are referring to a P trap under a sink, you loosen a large nut at each end and remover the entire P trap. If there is no nut at the downstream end, then you cut the pipe. If you don't know how, call a plumber,it's a very simple job.

How do you know if you have a p trap?
If you can look under the sink, lavatory, or perhaps in the basement under the washing machine . . . a P trap is the drain pipe coming out of the bottom of the sink, or whatever. If that drain pipe goes down, then curves and goes up again, then goes sideways into the wall, then it is a P trap, so named because it look like the letter P if you hold your head just right and squint a lot. The other common trap is an S trap . . . it's the same as the above, except instead of the drain pipe entering the wall, it curves down, again, and goes down through the floor. Its shape is similar to the letter S, if you hold your head just right yada yada. If the drain pipe goes straight down into the floor or has an elbow, making it go through the wall, then there may be no trap at all. (Maybe: . . . the P trap for my bathtub may be found by tearing into the ceiling on the next floor down . . .)
