How to make vlan communicates each other

I have a stack of 3750 switches, two members.

I just setup two vlans - Vlan 2 and Vlan 3, but PCs on different vlan can't ping each other.

Could you please advise what to do? thanks

The purpose of a VLAN is to keep separations within the same involvement.  However, it is possible to get what you want to work via helper IP's in VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 say x.x.x.2 and x.x.x.3

Also, you can add in static routes in the route table of the PC's so that they are aware the other VLAN's / IP ranges exist.

I would first go with the helper IP addresses as shown below.

sw1(config)#VLAN 2
sw1(config-if)#ip helper-address x.x.x2
sw1(config)#VLAN 3
sw1(config-if)#ip helper-address x.x.x.3

You may have to adjust the helper address based on your network's gateway. The pc's not in VLAN's 2 or 3 should be be able to ping these helper addresses if configured correctly. The backup would be the static route on the PC's host table.

Do you have SVIs (VLAN interfaces) for the two interfaces?

Have you configured the PCs to use the VLAN interface IP address as the default gateway?

thanks, resolved by enabling ip route.
