The Romans believed in many Gods - not just one. They saw the teachings of Christianity as a threat to their beliefs, and tried to suppress its followers.

Why did the Romans try to stop the spread of Christianity?

The Romans did not try to stop the spread of Christianity. There were alternations between periods of toleration and periods of persecution. Some Roman emperors thought that Christianity was a threat to the Roman state because many bureaucrats and soldiers converted to Christianity. The Romans saw their state as being interlinked with Roman Religion. The persecutions were aimed mainly at the civil service and the Christian clergy, rather than Christianity as such. The last and worse persecution, the Great Persecution, failed because it was difficult to implement, because of the resistance of the Christians and because it undermined the stability of the empire. After that, the emperors endorsed Christianity, favored it over other religions and promoted it. Eventually, Christianity became the state religion of the empire. With imperial support, the spread of Christianity accelerated.

What didn't the Romans like about Christianity?

It isn't that they didn't like it, the Romans allowed freedom of religion as long as you showed respect and worship to the emporer and the Roman gods. When the early Christians refused, the Romans were hostile.  Also, the Romans believed that Jesus would lead a revolt against them, because that was what the messiah was fortold to do.
