If ir is a brand new car there is a safety latch that should hold the hood down. You can pull on the hood to be sure the safety latch is doing its job. Drive the new car take it back to the dealer or where ever you bought it.
They will slam the hood down and smile. Better them breaking the new car than you,'
It may be out of adjustment
You can manually activate the hood latch. There is a hook like assembly that follows the hood latch down when closed. You can activate this assembly by hand. Be sure to release it before attempting to close the hood again.
If it is a used car make sure the handle in the driver side has returned to the home position. If it has I would gently slam the hood down.
