Hi! I knocked over my little spider plant and when he came out of the pot, the roots are very bound! Should I repot him into a slightly larger pot while he’s out? He has been growing so well I kind of want to leave as is, but his roots were starting to grow out of the pot, so I wonder if now would be the time to repot?

if the roots were growing out of the pot, yes, time to repot!
