In the case of no deal as the other scenario? Absolutely they would not.
"We have today voted down May's disaster of a deal, but we have not betrayed the will of the people so we have abstained on the withdrawal of Article 50. This, above all else, shows that the UK must have a GE before Brexit day so that Labour can negotiate a fresh deal for the people of the UK".
Dammit
There's not a majority in favour of the draft withdrawal agreement, otherwise May wouldn't have pulled the vote. There's not a majority in favour of withdrawing the Art 50 notice and remaining in the EU, as Labour members would be whipped against voting for it, and they and the ERG nutters would together carry enough votes to vote it down. There's not a majority in favour of leaving with no deal, because only the ERG are stupid/blinkered enough to think that's a good idea. The alternatives involve cake, unicorn poo and magic fairy dust..
