Yellowstone as a Caldera volcano is pretty much a non factor. The pressure and heat continue to find outlets of release via the steam geysers and underground rivers.
This transfer of excess heat away from the magma chamber and subsequent release outside of the volcanic system substantially reduces the possibility of the system going critical so to speak.
