The evidence for the resurrection is grounded on 5 claims that are widely accepted by scholars (and people in general)
1 The existence of God is at least possible (if you are an agnostic or even a weak atheist you should accept this point, only strong atheist that affirm conclusive evidence against God would deny this point)
2 Jesus died on the cross
3 Jesus was buried
4 The tomb was found empty
5 Early Christians had experiences that they interpreted as having seen the risen Jesus
As a non beliver you have 4 alternatives
1 Reject some of these facts and explain why you think scholars are wrong
2 Accept this facts and provide an alternative explanation , and explain why is that explanation better than the resurrection hypothesis
3 a combination of 1 and 2
4 Do something dishonest like chaning the topic, ignoring the challenge, refute a strawman etc.
So which one do you pick?
