My ex-girlfriend uses my Apple ID to login to her iPad, do I have to give her my Apple ID password to reset...
She asked me to give her my Apple ID password to log out. But I don't want to share my password. She said she need that password to logout iPad.
Do I have to give her my password? What else can she do?

I would not give her the password! Have her meet you in a public place with the device and you sign out.

Don’t just give the password - that gives full access to your account - she could change the password on you... Make it that you enter the password and reset... Either meet or she sends you the iPad...

Yes, it's required to enter Apple ID password and sign out before reseting an iOS device. Additionally, Find My iPhone is disabled too (if enabled) when resetting an iOS device.
- Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac
This is to prevent any unauthorised signing out from iOS device.
As very nicely and cautiously noted by @SolarMike, sharing the password may be potentially dangerous unless you trust the person with it. You should get the iPad in person, enter the password, sign out and reset it yourself.
You can share the password with her, and let her sign out. Once signed out, check if the device is removed from your account by going to iCloud settings on any one of your other iOS/macOS devices or by going to iCloud website.
As a precautionary measure, you should also changed the password once your ex-girlfriend's device is removed successfully from your account.
