You can buy a plug in tester at Home Depot or any big box hardware store that has lights on it to indicate a short, open, open ground, etc. That is the best way (they come in 2 or 3 prong, depending if you have a grounded system) or it may be as simple as a loose screw.
Turn off the breaker. Take the cover off, and the 2 screws holding the plug. Pull it out and visually check it. Tighten the screws, or replace the plug, insuring you have the wires in the same position on the new plug. Turn the breaker back on and test again.
Or the problem may be in a connection on one of the other plugs on the circuit. Follow the same pocedure as above. Always testing the non working plug after checking connections on the other plugs.
