If you can’t eject a CD or DVD

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > Log Out, then log in again. Try to eject the disc again.
  2. If you still can’t eject the CD or DVD, choose Apple menu  > Restart. While your computer restarts, press and hold the mouse or trackpad button until the disc is ejected.

You don't specify which exact year MacBook Pro you have. On some of the older slot loading drives there was a small hole next to the slot and you could, if absolutely necessary, try inserting a straightened paperclip and push to eject a disc. If that doesn't work then you'll probably need a technician to look at the computer.
