It depends on the module. Most modules, if you reinstall/upgrade, will not lose their data. (assuming you didn't remove the module to begin with)

It is possible however that a module developer chose a different route though, and a module might lose all its data. It depends on the developer.

Always backup your site before you install/upgrade/uninstall modules.

When you reinstall a module the DB scripts are not re-excuted if the versions are the same - all the files are recopied though so file customisations may be lost and your BIN folder will need to be reloaded.
