I doubt there would be much change in the pH of orange juice if left at normal temperatures and if it did change, I don't think the change would be much and unless you're using an electrical pH meter, you won't be able to detect it.

Look at the MP, BP and pKa values for C6H8O7 and the reaction.
It's hard to write the reaction for orange juice, because orange juice doesn't really have a formula, it's just citric acid and water. Best case scenario, if we look at equilibrium is
C6H8O7 + H2O < ---- > H3O +??
Idk, it sounds like a trick question because unless we know whether the reaction is exo or endothermic, it's hard to determine what affect temperature will have on the reaction. I'm inclined to think it'll produce more H3O, but it's not going to decompose at room temperature...
Short answer: Maybe but the change will probably be negligible.
