IF it low on freon, would the compressor cycle on and off while driving?

It depends on what type of AC system you have. Most cars have a clutch cycling system where it is normal for the compressor to cycle on and off based on system pressures. However, there are some that have a variable compressor where the compressor runs all the time (my old Saturn is a good example of this). On these systems, compressor cycling is not normal and is a sign of problems.
