You mean the oil fill plug?

I would suggest a pair of pliers if it is more than finger tight.  it unscrews counter-clockwise like 99% of everything threaded.

A note, while your bike will run with the plug out of that hole it will throw oil all over everything.  If you think you might break it, get a spare first.
