Peer pressure would seem to refer to the influence that someone, or some group, has on someone that encourages them to change their behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, etc. Conformity would be the actual act ofcomforming to the norms of that group/person.
the term conformity is used specifically in the context of yielding to group/peer pressures, so we can't have conformity without peer pressure but there can be peer pressure without comformity
