Passenger window won't roll up
The title saids it all, I can roll all the other windows up and down but for this one I can't. I can roll it down but to roll it back up again, I have to simultaneously pull the window upwards as I press the switch for it to go up. I'm gonna try and stop by the dealership tomorrow to get a price quote. Any idea what's wrong with it?

I had this happen on my 87 535i. Turn out to be an alignment problem of the window track which was causing enough resistance that the motor couldn't overcome it without help.
Power window problems can be expensive to troubleshoot.

Just curious, do you usually have passengers? Are they children? They might be messing with the window, so make sure you watch them. I somehow doubt the windows develop this kind of problem on their own.

Sounds like a failing motor on the power window regulator. On Hondas, the regulator/motor is generally replaced as an assembled unit.
One way to check, is to take off the door panel and apply direct 12 volt power to the motor connector and see its operation.

How much do you think they'll charge to fix this? I didn't get the chance to go to my dealership yesterday because of work

If it is the regulator, dealer will probably charge you around $400. Glass shops, as well as independent auto shops can do it too, and probably for less.
You can even do it yourself, as it actually is not too difficult. There are threads on the internet showing picture on how to remove the door panel for your car. I would apply direct 12 volt power to the motor connector to verify if it was the motor or a switch problem, before replacing the part.

on my 97 accord lx, the motors are fine and have been tested. both front windows have alot of trouble going up, what is happening with mine is when it starts to go up the window jams itself into the door and gets stuck, so watch it carefully

IIRC, there was a Honda Service News letter years back related to your generation Accord, it was related to the window channels needing an alignment adjustment. That service news letter was years back, I will try to look for it; but, no guarantees I will find it.
