It is pronounced "be-STOW", so the stressed syllable is "-stow".

A stressed syllable is the part of a multi-syllabic word that you put emphasis on when you're saying it.

Ex.

-"rive" in "ar-rive"

-"junc" in "con-junc-tion"

- "med" in "im-med-i-ate"

If you still don't understand it, try saying it out loud dramatically and you'll hear which part is slightly "louder", or more stressed :)
