The belt either needs replacing, is loose or is dirty/glazed.

If it is dirty/glazed, spray it with belt dressing.

If loose, tighten it.

If i can't be tightened replace it.

First check your fuse for your AC in your fuse box, make sure it is good. Make sure your cooling fan is turning on when you turn on your AC, if not it could be your fan relay. If the AC compressor fan clutch is kicking on and off then it just needs freon. If the AC compressor fan clutch is not turning then it could be completely out of freon due to a leak, or you need a new AC compressor.
