How do you select a polygon that contains points?

You can accomplish this using the ‘Select by Location’ tool, in the selection menu. Just set the polygons as the target layer, the points as the collection layer. There are a variety of options that would probably work for you for the’Spatial selection method’.

What is the difference between select by location and a spatial join?

The Spatial Join tool uses the same spatial selection methods as the Select Layer By Location tool. The big difference is that it produces a new feature class instead of a selection of existing features, and attributes from the joined features are output to the new feature class.
 

How do you do spatial selection in QGIS?
