Coerce means to compel by force, intimidation, or authority, especially without regard for individual desire or volition: They coerced him into signing the document. to bring about through the use of force or other forms of compulsion; exact: to coerce obedience. Link

To coerce someone against his or her will give you what you want but place you in a bad position. It is practically bullying. I don't think bullying is a crime but it does not speak well of the fellow that bullies his neighbor.

Most people coerce others for selfish reasons, and it does not speak well of the bully. The person coerced will be victimized and feel threatened by the coercion.

I would say you should not yield despite the coercion but I know it is not easy to stand your ground especially when the circumstances do not speak to your favour. But we all need to be brave.
