If a legal resident marries an illegal resident can the illegal resident get residency?
Debgree
The illegal foreign national will still be required to follow the prescribed USCIS procedures. This could mean the person will be required to leave the U.S. and then apply for a visa for reentrance. A foreign national whether illegal or not is not automatically granted permanent residency or citizenship status by marriage to a U.S. citizen. Marriage will sometimes (but not always) change the priority status given to an applicant's request. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.gov

Does an illegal alien from hondura become a legal resident by marrying a US citizen?
If there was illegal entry, then no, marriage doesnt make you a legal resident. You would need to file a 130 petition along with a I-601 waiver at the U.S. embassy/consulate in HONDURAS, and you would be required to appear there. If you had legal entry, then it would be possible to get legal residency through marriage to a citizen.
