No one "forced" Nixon to resign. It was the only course of action he could take to avoid impeachment on criminal charges and possible incarceration. Given the mood of the country at the time if he had stayed in office there is a strong possibility that he would have been impeached from office and could have been jailed for his crimes.

President Richard Nixon resigned from the presidency on August 8, 1974, following the Watergate scandal. While no one forced Nixon to resign directly, mounting evidence of his involvement in the cover-up and his impending impeachment by Congress led to his decision to step down. The threat of impeachment and removal from office played a significant role in his resignation.
