Frozen during factory reset?

I've been having problems with my phone crashing 5x+ a day to the point of having to do a soft reset each time, so I finally did a master reset but the phone is completely frozen now. Will anything happen if I take the battery out? Everything is backed up, so I don't care about that but I'm worried about the phone not working at all.
