There are two types of quests:
-Village Quests
-Online Quests
All quests can be done as many times as you want. You do not need to start a new game to do so.
Village quest can only be done in single player.
Online quest can be done by up to 4 players.
You can do online quests (offline) in single player. In that case the monster has less health. The damage they do is the same though, so it will a bit harder (and less fun).
Online quests can also be done online with up to 4 players. If you go online, monsters will have more health. You can create a room online (rooms are places were you wait for other players to join your room) and try to complete a quest with less than 4 players (or even alone), but the monster will have the same amount of health as they would have if you tackled the monster with 4 players.
Whether you complete online quest offline or online, with 1,2,3 or 4 players does not matter. The online quest will be completed.
There are some online quests which are exactly the same as some village quests. Yet if you complete a village quest, you have yet to complete the online quest and vice versa.
This is not an issue for most quests, since you will want to hunt monsters multiple times anyway. The beauty of monster hunter is that there is always progression, whatever you do.
It is recommended to do a few village quests before jumping into the online quests. I'm not sure how fast the progression is for the online quest in MH4U, but in MH3U the difficulty ramped up way faster in online quests than in the offline village quests, so I'd recommend switching to the offline village quests when the online quests get too hard.
It's also possible to complete all the village quests and then breeze through half of the online quests. The late game online quests are way more challenging than the final village quests though.
Edit: This game also supports wireless offline multiplayer for the online quests. The same rules as for doing the online quest online apply here.
