One: People who graduate from a college with an English degree
should know many words.
Two: People who graduated from a college with an English degree

Note: I just want to express the fact. Which tense should I use?

One: People who graduate from a college with an English degree
should know many words.
But the whole sentence sounds funny. Perhaps you should say:
"People who graduate from a college with an English degree
should have a vast vocabulary." :)))

I would say the first one due to the fact that the second one doesn't make full sense, if you added the word have to he second on eit would make more sense.
People who HAVE graduated from a college with an English degree should know many words.
It is more about how you would say it, you are more likely to either say those who graduate or those that have graduated. In english it doesn't sound correct to say those who garduated.
Having said that, neither are actually right or wrong in a true sense.
Hope that helps.

Several of the other poster have made suggestion to revise which would my first choice. If revision is not an option, use #1 , cause #2 needs to have a "be" verb before gratuated. But what do I know, I'm not a college gratuate with an English degree and therefore don't know many words.

People who have graduated from college with an English degree, are expected to know many words...?

For a statement of a general fact (or rather an opinion, in this case), the first sentence would be correct. You could get round the problem by leaving out the subordinate clause with its verb and saying:
People with an English degree should know many words.
