No. The supervolcano in Yellowstone has produced three super eruptions at intervals of 800,000 to 660,000 years with the last one occurring about 640,000 years ago. A smaller eruption occurred about 70,000 years ago. Given these time intervals, the chances of the volcano erupting in the next 10 years are almost negligible.

∙ 11y agoChances are that it will not. The volcano has produced three super eruptions in the past 2.1 million years at intervals of 800,000 to 660,000 years. Three eruptions is not enough to set an average pace, but if we were to do so, all we would know is that the volcano stands a fair chance of having a super eruption some time in the next 260,000 years. The last eruption, though not a super eruption, was about 70,000 years ago. On these time scales the chances of an eruption occurring even in the next few hundred years are very small.

It is believed that 2.1 million years ago, Yellowstone 'Supervolcano' did erupt, it then erupted a second time and the last time it erupted was 640,000 years ago. In 2008, scientists measured high seismic activity showing that Yellowstone could potentially erupt again but hopefully not any time soon. But in proper answer to your question, Yellowstone spewed lava last 70,000 years ago and its most recent super-eruption was 640,000 years ago. Scientists say it is overdue for another eruption but this is all we know so far.
