They probably would have done & some were outraged that King James VI did nothing to avenge his mother's death. But James was keen to maintain good relation with Queen Elizabeth I (which possibly helped to his succeeding her following her death in 1603). Following Mary's execution, Elizabeth sent James a letter of apology claiming she didn't mean for the signed death warrant to be delivered. This seems to have placated James. Hope this helps.
