It depends. What do you want to do when it expires? If you don't believe that the key has been compromised -- nobody is going around using your key falsely -- then you should just "renew" your key, i.e change the expiry date. Some that are a bit more paranoid will generate a new key, sign it with the about-to-expire key -- not the already expired key because they would never allow that to happen -- revoke the about-to-expire key, then sync with the key server(s). This information, by the way, has been blogged about thousands of times. -- Mr. Aaron W.
