That code will only run once, if you want it to keep checking (even though there are better ways of doing this) try putting it in a while true do loop with the wait function somewhere in it.

while true do
	--Any code here will run every frame.
	wait()
end

Hello. A while loop is not the best method for that. You can use the Changed event. Here is an example:

workspace.MyBoolValue.Changed:Connect(function()
	if workspace.MyBoolValue.Value == true then
		print("The value is: True")
	else
		print("The value is: False")
	end
end)
