Some of the trapped gas in a magma will be water vapour, but at very high temperature.

As the magma rises in the volcanic pipe, the pressure will lower, and the entrained vapour will expand rapidly = an explosion.

Can a volcano be forced to erupt?

No, a volcano cannot be forced to erupt. Eruptions are triggered by the buildup of pressure from molten rock (magma) within the volcano's chamber, and external factors such as changes in pressure or water interaction can influence eruptions, but they cannot be artificially induced.

No. At least hurricanes do not cause volcanoes to erupt. The two are unrelated. A volcano could erupt after a hurricane strikes, but the timing would simply be a coincidence.
