I'm learning English and I want to know if in the word "subtitle" I should pronunce the letter B?

Yes. Latin "sub" means "under"; a title under the main title.

You probably are thinking of "subtle" where the b is silent. Subtle is derived from Latin "subtilis" but it came through old French where they changed it to "soutil". The English retains a hint of the French pronunciation.
