If you enjoy TFA, then you'll probably want to see the other films as well, but watching them afterwards would be less enjoyable: many plot twists will already have been revealed and so on.There are numerous in-jokes, Easter eggs, and references in TFA which you won't get without having seen the previous films.I assume you're not just going to see it 'because it's new' but because you're interested in the franchise as a whole.

If you're into Star Wars to the extent of being interested in seeing the new film, you'll probably enjoy the previous ones too.You'd get more enjoyment out of watching Star Wars if you watch TFA after watching the other films, although you could watch it on its own. The earlier films are not strictly necessary, but recommended.
