No it won't. It will erase the phone and restore it to factory default settings..... so you can set it up again with a new passcode.

If you don't have a computer, try......How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support
Might be a good idea to write down the new passcode......even if you are sure that you will never forget it.
If you have a current backup of the phone, you can use that during the new setup, so the phone will look just like it did before you forgot the passcode.
