Yes, the pump will come on for a few seconds and then shut down if you do not start the engine. You may not be able to hear it without listening at the fuel filler door. Open the door, remove the gas cap, and listen there while someone else turns on the key. If you hear nothing then check the fuse and fuel pump relay. If they are good then more than likely the pump has failed.

First just replace the fuel filter as it is a maintenance item that should be replaced regularly.

Remove the fuel cap and have someone listen in to the fuel tank while you turn the key to the on position. You should hear the fuel pump run for aprox 2 seconds.
