Depends, actually. There are reasons one might want to simulate a system at 380 
K in NVT using the average box volume from the 300 K NPT simulation. 
Temperature replica exchange typically employs NVT and so might other 
temperature-based enhanced sampling approaches. Justin's right, you have to 
think it through, but I'm just chiming in to suggest that the answer is not 
obvious from this thread thus far. TIP3P water doesn't boil in NPT until 
somewhere around 550 K, so NPT at 380 K is certainly possible.

Think scientifically.  If you only want to vary the temperature, does it make
any sense to vary the simulation protocol?
