Won't my computer overheat if the lid is closed?

If I close the lid of my computer when it is connected to an extern monitor will the computer overheat? Should I lift the lid a little? Is there a way of preventing the screne from turning back on when it is connected to the external monitor?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011)

Yes, make the lid ajar. 😝

Good question, I don't know.
