Which is more likely to be dangerous a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for 100 years why?

A volcano that erupts frequently keeps pressures down on the inside of the volcano. People in the area become familiar with the signs it is about to erupt. But a volcano that has sat dormant will fool people into thinking the mountain is safe, even 'dead'. New generations never experienced the volcano erupting. They may have built houses and businesses too close to the mountain. When it erupts, the volcano will have up to 100 years of pressures built up behind the eruption. It might not give any warning signs before it erupts. So not only will people be caught off guard, living too close, the eruption may be so large that people cannot get away fast enough.
