Assuming he doesn't resign...
If they don't impeach him (which the republicans will never do), a trial would be nothing more than a spectacular dog & pony show resulting in the president giving himself a pardon.
Impeachment is the only way to remove the ability to pardon himself.
And even if there was an impeachment, trial and guilty verdict, it may not even be legal to arrest a sitting president. That is something that would likely go to the supreme court.
