Many of the responders are assuming that the broken plug was in the neutral slot. If the broken plug was in the hot slot (smaller of the two), it will most definitely give you a shock. Depending on your path to ground (your shoes, what you were standing on, etc), will determine how bad a shock you'll get.

As you learned, never touch any wire while it's live...
