There is no such thing as "a kilauea shield volcano". Kilauea is the name of a specific volcano that makes up the easternmost portion of the island of Hawaii, the largest of the Hawaiian islands. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, holding the record the the longest continuous volcanic eruption, which has been going for more than 31 years and shows no signs of stopping.
Kilauea is a shield volcano, meaning it is large with broad slopes formed by countless flows of runny basaltic lava.

Do hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcano?
The source is not as important as the gas content and viscosity. For example, Kilauea in Hawaii doesn't erupt very explosively; it is just a fire fountain. The more explosive volcanoes are those with a blocked magma chamber that builds pressure under a solid surface. Hotspot volcanoes tend to be less explosive because most are on the seafloor.
