we have wifi in our hostel, separate one for each room & password protected. but a guy in next room hacked into it by simply using one of our roommates laptop and going in command prompt.
now my question is, if we change our password, will the changed password be visible to him in his computer? also, how should we protect our password next time.?

The password he can see is the one windows stored. Changing your password is a good idea but if he is an experience hacker he can still get it, it just takes time. Use wpa2-psk and a complex password.

What I dont get is if he has free internet, why is he wasting time using yours? Unless he is downloading illegal things and wants you to get in trouble for it...
