No, a scratch typically will not cause astigmatism to worsen. Astigmatism is usually caused by imperfections in the curvature of the eye's cornea or lens, and it is not typically affected by external factors like scratches. If you have concerns about changes in your astigmatism, it's best to consult with an eye care professional for an evaluation.
