I'm going to go against the grain here and suggest you close the pop door and make it secure.
The above posters are correct in that chickens will tolerate, note I don't write enjoy, temperatures below freezing provided they are dry and out of the wind and drafts.
If you are happy to get up early each morning to let them out and at night close them in shortly after they've gone to roost, then I would definitely do it for the added security a closed coop gives.
