If a pentagon is rotated 100 degrees will it coincide with itself?

Answer: No, it will not coincide with itself.

This is because the angle of rotation is 360/n = 360/5 = 72 degrees instead of 100 degrees. This applies to regular pentagons where the sides are the same length and the angles are the same measure.
