You can accept his/her quest or refuse. By accepting it, quest details will be listed in your Quest panel (hit N to view).
If you refuse the quest, next time when you are talking with him/her again he/she will tell you the quest again. If you accept, the villager will have a question mark over his/her head, and the quest will be listed in your quest panel.
When you complete a quest, you get compensation.
