It should not explode. With what would the oxygen combust? About 20% of the air is oxygen. Oxygen does not readily combine with itself.
However, if you put a spark into a cup of liquid hydrogen, I bet it would react rather violently. And there is a YouTube video of a fellow igniting charcoal with liquid oxygen. The oxygen does not explode, but the fire burns the charcoal really well. And the barbecue. And eventually the ground below the grill.
