What is the context?  In terms of every day life, I would consider "pressure" to be more specific to something like a choice you have to make and "stress" to be a general nervousness regarding being overwhelmed with your current situation.

For example, I just finished my MBA, and I felt a lot of pressure to find a job.  However, I would alternatively maybe say I was "under a lot of stress" during this period, due to additional things like my final exams and the general uncertainty of my future.
