How much weaker? Is it limiting your bench because that arm can't actually press the weight or does that arm get fatigued faster/easier than the other?

If you can't press it then I would follow widdoes advice and do some dumbbells. Even staying with the barbell might be alright too, just use a weight that is a tiny bit to heavy for the weak arm and the strong arm will help you overload the weaker one and eventually even out. Keep the bar level as well, if the strong arm is hitting lockout before the weak one (bar goes up on an angle), then it will shift the load to the weaker one and you will be done.

If you get fatigued I would stick with the barbell and things should work themselves out.
