While yes the explosion will be massive, making the nuclear bombs look like child's play, Volcanic eruptions are very easy to see coming, and one of this scale we'd likely be able to predict a good decade or two ahead of time.
While there'd be no way to stop the blast, we'd have time to move people out of the dead zone.
While global temperatures WILL decrease, it won't decrease to the point of death, the main issue would be the difficulty of growing food. This however, isn't much of a problem in modern times as we have the ability to grow food indoors, especially with the prep time we'd have.
