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.

Is the Yellowstone volcano a hot spot?

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.
