In what act the climax occur romeo and Juliet?

If you mean by the climax the denouement or moment of truth, then it should be the last scene where Romeo and Juliet both die and the friar fails to prevent it. Even after Romeo's death the audience might have some hope that Juliet might survive, if they came in after the Prologue. But if you are using the word climax in the technical sense created by Freytag, the climax is the turning point of the action from good to bad, which he found occurs in Act 3 of Shakespeare's plays. And sure enough we find in Act 3 Scene 1 that Romeo kills Tybalt, call himself fortune's fool, and gets banished which means he isn't around to help Juliet escape from the planned marriage to Paris.
