It should be tight as it can be without binding. If the chain is too loose, it can fall off, which is quite dangerous on a fixed gear.

Differences between single-speed and fixed-gear bikes
Single-speed bikes have a freewheel cog that rotates freely and independently of rear wheel. On a fixie, the rear cog is joined to the rear hub so that when the wheel turns, the cog also turns. This makes for a big difference in how you ride each bike.
Can you put a freewheel on a fixed-gear hub?

Why does my bike chain slip when I pedal hard single speed?
These include worn out or misaligned derailleur pulleys, old or malfunctioning shifters throwing off the indexing in some gears, or broken/bent teeth on one or more cassette cogs. Build up of dirt and grime on drivetrain components will also cause shifting issues, including skipping chains.
How do I know if my chain is too loose?
To find out whether your chain is too long take a look at it from the side with your eyes being level with the chain. A loose chain will sag close to or below the chainstays as the chain hangs between the rear cogs and chainring. The chain might skip as you pedal, or even drop off the gears.
