First, check the AC system for any leaks. If there are no leaks, then the most likely cause is a faulty compressor clutch. Try using a multimeter to test the clutch's resistance and replace if necessary.

Another common cause of a non-functioning AC compressor is low or empty refrigerant. Check the refrigerant levels using a gauge and refill accordingly. If the levels are still low after filling, there may be a leak in the system.
