It should not. There is less airflow onto the engine when you are idling but it should not be enough to overheat. If so you have a cooling problem.

If a car set still while idling it will run hotter than if it were moving down the road. The air being moved through the radiator helps cool the engine.

Normally a car idling should not overheat. If the car is overheating while idling, check your radiator for coolant, adding more if neccessary.
