i can't resist vs i can't resist it

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "I can't resist" is a complete sentence that can stand alone, while "I can't resist it" requires an object to complete the thought. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize the action of resisting or the specific thing you can't resist.
