Fear. Baptists, as I recall, are wary of ritualistic services. Many conservative baptists do not like the use of icons in the church. They also believe very strongly in the priesthood of the believer, meaning that a believer should be able to approach God through prayer without an intercessory like a priest. That the confession of sin could and should be directly to God and forgiveness sought from man. The elevation of Mary as an intercessory is also frowned upon.

Why do you assume that Baptists do not like Catholics? I am a Baptist, and a new Catholic Church was being formed where I live. We shared our church building with them for their services until their building was built. Our minister and their priest swap sermons now and then.

Do Catholics believe they have to pray with a Baptist?

Catholics believe that they have to pray at all times, that there is no way to be saved without prayer. I'm not real sure why you are asking about praying with Baptists. If you mean do Catholics have to be baptized to pray, everyone was made by God and can and should pray always. But that should lead you to be baptised and you should always pray before and after baptism. If you are asking if it is okay to pray with a Baptist, a member of the protestant denomination, I would see nothing wrong with this, if they are not praying for something contrary to the faith. If you are asking if they may attend a Baptist service, if there is good reason to, I'm sure that your confessor would give you permission, but you should not be attending Baptist services just for the fun of it.
