Then he lied and said he didn't know who the co-worker was when we all work at the same place. Why do men make big issues out of nothing?

 People often make big issues out of nothing to take the focus off themselves. There's something he might not be telling you or feels guilty about, otherwise he wouldn't feel the need to make such a trivial thing into a big deal.
If he normally doesn't act this way, there's definitely something going on. If he does have a tendency to get jealous or irritated over little things, he has issues that obviously need to be dealt with in a healthy way, possibly with the help of therapy.

While it is arguably an irrational jealousy, assuming he has no reason not to trust you, then Id just reassure him as much as you need to that you didnt have any bad intention when saying hi. Hope this helps.
