Try turning the rubber bumpers on either side of the hood latch a 1-2 turns counter-clockwise. That and lubricating the hood latch may be all you need.

Yes, the WD-40 will work wonders. The reason it doesn't pop up is not because the spring is weak, but because the latch mechanism gets so filthy and gritty that the spring isn't strong enough to overcome all that friction. I think almost everyone here has had this problem. Heck, I'm due for another cleaning, actually.
Good luck!

I have the latch problem too.
I will try cleaning it and spray with WD40

Makes sense! I'll give it a try when I get back home this weekend. Thanks.
