If you need a super quick fix - i would just cap off the red one (from your pick it looks like the red one came disconnected. However i would simply fix the whole thing. Also, if your faucet has a single handle - water could leak from cold side to hot side.
The issue is figuring out if your faucet itself is done for. They are often made out of plastic and if the plastic cracked, you cannot really fix it and need to replace the whole faucet.

Pex is REALLY easy to work with. You need a ring cincher, rings, and some fittings.
If the sink is ok, i would guess from this limited photo that does not actually let me see the hot side threaded connection - that you need a 90 degree female threaded fitting.

If you have more photos or more questions let me know. I have totally redone all pex plumbing and faucets in a camper, as well as service other pex in other campers and my house.

Edit to add:
​
If this was during cold winter storage - i would suspect cracked plastic. Pex itself normally does not split, but plastic fittings (be it the elbows in the pex- faucets etc). I have come to expect the valve in my toilet to freeze each time. This winter instead of just blowing out the water lines, i actually filled with rv antifreeze and it worked! nothing was damaged. Last year i had to replace a toilet valve and the little filter window thingy on the water pump.
​
I would also suspect that the faucet is cracked even if you fix the connection, there is more cracked inside and it might leak. You can upgrade to a residential fautcet. Yes it adds weight, but might be worth it.
​
As i have plastic elbows etc break, i replace them with metal. It lasts longer.
