When a team scores a touchdown on last play of a half and they holding penalty do they run a play?

It depends if the defending team either accepts or declines the penalty. If they accept it, then they move the ball back 15 yards from where the holding penalty was called, and run another play. If they decline, then they decided to ignore the holding. (they might do this if the offense didn't score. If they were to accept, that would give the offense another chance to score)
