Well, it depends what you want to do... with so little of informations it's hard to guess.

Here the point is not clear at all? Where is the problem? The calculates stress depends on 
the cell parameters, but also on what you put inside of you cell. So you should specify 
what kind of system you are studying and a sample for an input file.

If you want to create vacuum layers between surfaces in a slab geometry, I think you 
should not look at stress, but rather at the convergence of total energy as a function of 
the vacuum thickness.
