Well, the force on the pulley from the string comes from the tension T

So you can add the vector forces of the two strings, or you can say simply that the horizontal compts cancel each other so we´re only interested in the vertical.

Vertical compt is Tsin30 or Tcos 60, and there are two of them so the answer is 2Tcos60, vertically down.
