I think 'gomen' is an informal word, like 'sorry' and gomen nasai or gomenasai is more formal.

Gomen = Pardon or pardon me
Gomenasai = Excuse me, I am sorry

I am going to answer this from a historical context. When the second amendment was written the law of the land was that every male in the USA between the ages of 16 and 46 were required to be members of the local militia. Note the USA and not one of the states were allowed a standing army. Each member of the militia was required to provide his own arms. Those arms were listed by law for each soldier: one belt knife, one tomahawk, and one of the following. A good hunting bow of at least 50 lb. draw weight and a quiver of 50 arrows, two pistols with powder and shot for 50 loads, a fowling piece(shotgun) with powder and buckshot for 50 loads, a musket (smooth bore) of 58 cal or larger and powder and shot for 75 rounds, or a rifle of .36 cal with powder and shot for 100 rounds. Certain Militia groups were permitted as a group to purchase artillery pieces and the crews could carry either pikes or swords instead of firearms. The unit was usually a family group who owned and operated a very successful business such as a major mill or smithy. When the second amendment was written the survivors of the revolutionary war could not conceive of a standing army. The US Navy was almost disbanded as was the US Revenue Cutter(now Coast Guard) and the us army was legally kept to 100 individuals to preform guard duty at the Capitol!

Gomen means 'Sorry' in a casual way. Whereas Gomen'nasai means 'I am very sorry' and is the proper and polite way.

it means "sorry".
The difference is that "gomenasai" is more formal than "gomen"
