This is not a difficult task, but it will require a multimeter with an "Ohm" function(designated by the Omega symbol, usually.) Make sure you have the probes in the correct position on the meter, and the selector switch on the correct setting. If your meter has settings for multiple resistance ranges, use the highest first. You can fine-tune later. Both should be designated by the "Omega" symbol or by the word "Ohm." Place the leads in the plug sockets. you should have an initial numeric reading. If you have a reading of "OL" this means your pot is shot or your meter is turned too low. That is why you should start at the highest setting. If you do have an initial numerical reading, the number should drop steadily as you press the pedal. If it starts with an "OL" and suddenly kicks to a numeric reading, your pot is partially shorted and will need to be replaced. If this sounds too vague or you need further help, feel free to reply. Best of luck!
