If you are asking this question I assume that the outlet/plug is hot enough to be noticeable and it is likely a problem you should address immediately. As a start remove the plug from outlet and see if the outlet is still hot. If so, turn off the breaker controlling the outlet. Remove outlet from box and see if there is evidence of a burned or loose wire. If there are no obvious problems and the outlet is still hot with nothing plugged in, call an electrician; or if you know how replace the outlet with a 20 amp outlet. Otherwise it could be a faulty plug which you should replace. The only other thing that might be wrong is a faulty breaker that isn't tripping on an over current condition and the connected device is drawing too much current.
