No, it doesn't.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we think of the cone as a stack of disks of decreasing radius, and we move the vertex of the cone while keeping the height of the cone, the number of disks don't change nor their radius, it only changes their position respect the original disposition. Then, the volume of the cone remains the same.
