It will, as soon as the water boils away. The evaporative temperature of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, but the kindling temperature of paper products is around 450. As water boils, it loses it latent heat (heat involved in a change of state) and cools. That's why you can never heat water above 212 (at sea level). Even if a direct flame (which could over 1,000 degrees) touches the cardboard, that cardboard will have to expel its water -- i.e., dry out -- before it can reach its kindling point.
