The worm will survive if you cut it properly, usually the half with the reproductive organs survives.

If you cut the worm in two so that the girdle stays on the section with the head, that part can survive and grow a new tail. But the new head and the rest of the vital organs of the old tail piece will not be able to regenerate - that part of the worm will definitely die.
