This cannot be predicted. While Yellowstone has produced several eruptions larger than any seen in human history, it has also produced a number of much smaller eruptions.

What would be the deadliest eruption Yellowstone or toba?
toba
Would building a huge geothermal plant at Yellowstone lower the chances of a future eruption?
No. Chances are it would not affect the chances of an eruption.
How would the eruption of the supervolcano in Yellowstone impact Phoenix AZ?
If the eruption is huge, the smoke can travel far or there may be an earthquake.
How much beforehand would geologists notice that a Yellowstone supervulcano eruption is imminent?
In most cases, geologists would see signs of an imminent Yellowstone Supervolcano eruption weeks or even months beforehand. A geologist who specializes in volcanos would be a volcanologist, who are more apt to recognize the incoming signals.
What is the surface movement magnitude and intensity at Yellowstone national park?
The normal surface movement, magnitude, and intensity at Yellowstone National Park varies from about 1.5 to 3.0. These would be barely noticeable by the average person. But the forest rangers and geologists would notice and be aware of any larger movements.
A Yellowstone eruption would destroy everything within how many miles?
A small eruption would cause the cities 100 miles within the park to be destroyed, with an hour. If the eruption triggers the supervolcano, it can cover two thirds of the United States.
How can the Yellowstone volcano create another Ice Age?
It can't. Although it is an active volcano, below is some information that may help you.Q: How imminent is an eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano?A: There is no evidence that a catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is imminent. Current geologic activity at Yellowstone has remained relatively constant since earth scientists first started monitoring some 30 years ago. Though another caldera-forming eruption is theoretically possible, it is very unlikely to occur in the next thousand or even 10,000 years. Scientists have also found no indication of an imminent smaller eruption of lava.Q: Where would it be safe to be during an eruption?A: For the most likely type of volcanic eruption in Yellowstone, everywhere would be safe except in the immediate vicinity of the advancing lava flow. In the highly improbable event of a large catastrophic eruption, the greater the distance from the eruptive center, the safer it would be. It is impossible to know the effects of the eruption without guessing at the explosivity of the highly unlikely eruption and the total amount of the material erupted.
Why would Yellowstone be potentially more dangerous and explosive than others?
Yellowstone's huge magma chamber underground is a boiling river continually building for a major eruption. Scientists estimate the huge eruption will be so great that it could destroy most of the North American continent.
What will the Yellowstone volcano eruption sound like?
The YellowStone eruption would in fact be very loud. Your ear drums give at about 150 decibals. YellowStone would surpass that by a long ways away. Plus, you probably wouldn't even hear it! Your ear drums would already be busted before your brain could even pick it up. In terms of what it will sound like, it will sound like a giant earth quake going off. But in the end, if it erupts we're done for
How are people affected by yellow stone caldera?
Currently the geothermal springs from the volcano generate a lot of tourism for Yellowstone. However, there are concerns about a potential eruption, which would have devastating global consequences. However, at this time there is no way of knowing when its next eruption will be.
Will England be affected by the yellow stone eruption?
Yes, should the Yellowstone super volcano erupt as it has done so in the past, the evidence is that the whole world would be affected.
