It depends on your growing season, and the type of tomato plants you have. If you have indeterminate(which means they grow forever as long as conditions are right), and the weather is still condusive to growth, they will keep producing fruit.

leave them

Yes, will they grow more tomatoes

Just before the fall frost pick all your tomatoes (even if they are green)

then pull your plants out when the frost hits (sometimes you might get a few weeks extra growing time if you cover your tomatoes when the first light frosts hit, uncovering during the day and covering when the night temperature is 40 or below. but your all done when the hard freeze hits or the day time temp doesn’t get above 55)

Tomato plants should keep on producing in smaller amounts until the cold weather comes. Make sure you keep watering. if you have lots of trusses of flowers, cut most of them off. leaving only 2 or 3. This will be less stress on the plant and you may get a good second crop.

If there aren’t any little green tomatoes or flowers, you could pull the plants now. Then you could plant a cool weather crop in their place, such as lettuce, peas.
