“We aren’t dinosaurs.”
I’m guessing that the human race would survive. But it would be a fraction of the number that it is now. The supervolcano would wipe out a majority of the cropland of the U.S. right away, and the following climate change would wipe out most of the rest of the world’s soon after, and for many years to come.
And if you don’t die from the lack of food, your nation/state/tribe would be attacked for whatever food or decent land you might still have.
