No one knows what triggers it. So, there is no answer for you. The last eruption was in 1944, but it is still an active volcano with 3 million people living under it now. Vulcanologist have been trying to track what triggers an eruption so they can warn people, but so far they haven't found why it erupts or when it will again. It is checked everyday for any activity.

The eruption was triggered by a foreboding of a series of violent earthquakes. It also erupted violently because in the 63 A.D. eruption, rising lava got hardened in the vent of the volcano which caused all the pressure to build up and then finally explode in a deadly violent eruption of smoke, pumice (a spongy looking rock), and volcanic ash.

Who knows for certain? The best answer to your question has to be that Mt Vesuvius erupted due to the pressure of natural forces.
