Morphology
The parts 'resting' + 'face' transparently suggest a neutral facial expression, and knowing 'bitch' as a derogatory label lets a learner infer a negative evaluation (a face that looks unfriendly). However, the expression is slang, culturally specific, and carries pragmatic/connotative nuance (unintentional perceived hostility) that is not fully predictable from the words alone, so some prior exposure or register knowledge is needed.
Etymology
Resting bitch face comes from the simple image of a person's face when it is resting — calm but sometimes seen as a bitch face, meaning 'unfriendly' or 'annoyed'. So, it now means a neutral look that people mistake for being 'angry' or 'upset'.
