I would say 'she is pressuring' me, as the second implies that she may be inflating you like a rubber dinghy ... alternatively try some synonyms such as ... coerce, etc, depending on the context.

Well, it depends on what you mean.
- To pressure, in your sentence, would mean to insist, to force.
- To Pressurize means to increase or maintain the pressure, as
in airplanes or submarines, or to confine something under
certain pressure.
My guess is that you meant the first one.
