It depends on how hard you push. The trachea is protected with up to a dozen strong C-shaped rings made out of rigid and strong hyaline cartilage so that it stays open for air to pass through. It would be difficult to close it off without breaking the cartilage, but a severe enough blow could do it, and then you'd need emergency medical treatment.
