Answer

in this sentence you gave, "they meet with more resistance" sounds like only during the times they try, but "they are meeting with more resistance" makes it sound like all the time. when talking about people though, "meet with" is just more formal. "I will meet you later" versus "I am meeting with an old friend tomorrow"
