CollectionService:GetTags(Instance)

Did you seriously not read the documentation provided for you? It’s like the third line.

To check if a part has a specific tag, you can use the Instance:HasTag() method.

local CollectionSerivce:GetService("CollectionService")

local SPECIFIC_TAG = "MyTag"

local part = some.Path.To.Part

local doesPartHaveSpecificTag = part:HasTag(SPECIFIC_TAG)

print(doesPartHaveSpecificTag) --> `true` if part has tag "MyTag", otherwise `false`

To check if a part has any tag, you can check that the number of (#) tags on a part (Instance:GetTags()) is more than (>) 0.

local CollectionSerivce:GetService("CollectionService")

local part = some.Path.To.Part

local doesPartHaveAnyTag = #part:GetTags() > 0

print(doesPartHaveAnyTag) --> `true` if part has any tag, otherwise `false`
