No you won't.
If you have a UK (and many others) passport you can travel as long as it is valid when you leave the US. There is one of the specific country agreements in place that titchfield's quote mentions

If traveling under the Visa Waiver Program, the passport must be valid for at least 90 days from the date on which the holder enters the United States. If not, the holder will be admitted until the expiration date on the passport.
