Why does spark plug wire from cylinder keep popping out upon acceleration?

If this is an overhead cam engine, where the spark plugs are inserted through a tube in the valve cover, the answer is simple. There is most likely a small oil leak around the seals in the valve cover at that cylinder. Compound that with a spark plug boot that may have a slight bit of wear or expansion due to the oil and you will get a small combustion at the upper end of the spark plug, especially on hard acceleration where the ignition coil is forced to put out more voltage. Repair the oil leak, replace the wires and you should be good.

The spark plug wire should snap into the coil tower. If it does not snap in place it is probably the wrong connector.

With an appropriate size spark plug socket (with the rubber insert to grab the plug) twist to the left. Keep turning until you can lift it out. When installing new plugs, torque to 14 ft lbs (no more or you risk stripping the threads in the cylinder head). Cheers

Force is mass times acceleration. If the force is doubled, then the mass must be cut in half to keep the acceleration the same.
