If it's connected to your charger it could be charging and/or backing up to iCloud.

Then it can't be from charging. Try powering it off by holding the power button until you see the Slide to Turn Off slider. Then power it back up and see if it still gets hot. If not, you may have had an app that didn't suspend properly when you closed it, which may have caused it to get hot. If it does get hot again, back it up and make an appointment to have it examined at the genius bar at a nearby Apple store.
