Is this a trick question? Of course you should reattach it because a heat-sink is an absolute necessity.

If the paste was disturbed or got dust all over it then yes, I would reapply it, if it is still looking really good then maybe not.

If it is the stock cooler and the computer has not been operated ,NO. the paste has not heated up yet.
If it is an aftermarket cooler and you applied the paste Yes. Otherwise it could have dust or contaminates, or create an air pocket when re attached.
