As long as the other cable is still attached, there is no need to do anything with the spring. The affected cable drum can be disconnected from the shaft and the cable reinstalled. Then remove cable slack by rotating the drum independent of the shaft, then tighten the drum screw(s) back down.

Then you need to investigate the cause of the cable problem. Loose hinge fasteners area high-probability culprit.
