Will fluid under bruised toenail go away by itself?

It may, but: Evacuating it may be a better option as to avoid an infection and fungus.

It could: A small amount of fluid/hematoma can be resorbed by the body. However if you have pain or it looks inflammed or infected, consider seeing a podiatrist for treatment.
