A tune up is the first and simplest answer, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel injector cleaner. Not necessarily the right answer though. Check your MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor to see if it is fowled, look in the intake to see if there is a lot of oil, see if the plugs look black or crystallized. Check the timing.

Stalling is a symptom of a larger problem, start eliminating some of these things and you can get more specific with how the car is behaving and you will have an easier time.
