The quick answer to this is that they went to war. That is not exactly true, but it's close enough.
More technically, what they did was to issue an ultimatum to the government of Serbia. They essentially told Serbia "If you do not do this list of things, we will go to war with you."
Because the Austro-Hungarians pretty much wanted a war with Serbia, they made the conditions so harsh that there was no way the Serbs would agree to them. When Serbia did not agree, Austria-Hungary went to war.
