No, but it *will* shrink a good bit.
Of course, if we were talking REALLY cold -- for example, if you stuck it into liquid nitrogen, you'd have a problem. As the balloon froze and the gas (air) inside continued to decrease in pressure, that balloon could actually implode.

CHARLES'S LAW
As temperature increases, volume increases in a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure.
SO...
if the temperature decreases, the volume will decrease, so the balloon will shrink. But it wont pop, because popping occurs when there is too much gas, and it bursts.
SHORT ANSWER:
NO, unless you poke it

Colder air causes the air or helium molecules in the balloon to slow down, so the balloon will deflate.
In hot temperature, the molecules will move faster, and if it's hot enough it should pop.

Rubber becomes brittle at cold temperatures. What temperature depends on the construction of the rubber, but figure about -25C.
