It can't. Immediatelly, after Vision messed up Iron Man's armor in Civil War's final battle, it took some time for Cap to crack the suit. Captain America's shield made out of Vibranium (and Adamantium, I think but I maybe wrong) while Iron Man's armor is made out of...Umm I don't know but I'm sure Cap's shield is harder.

That an object is harden than other doesn't mean it will imediately crack. Also, Iron Man's suit is protected by a "highly complex matrix of molecularly-aligned fully crystallized ultra high carbon iron/steel hybrid alloy enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other ultra hyper alloys like titanium alloy," it's not just regular metal.

Let's not forget that Tony has shields, which at 2% of power can withstand nuclear explosions.

Cap would need to first past the shield before getting to the armor.
