Are you able to pull the sides away from the soap without breaking the mold? Maybe if you can release part of it the rest will come easier. Otherwise try putting it in the freezer and wait 5 min after taking it out to put gentle but constant pressure to the back until it starts to come free. If it still doesn't maybe you can try waiting a few days to a week to allow it to dry out more.

I read at soap making resource that with their acrylic molds you can put them in the oven for a brief period to help the soap slide out. I don't know if your acrylic mold comes from them or not, but it might work still.

(Their tip about it is about halfway down )
