The \jobname primitive is not a token list variable, so this test won't
work: you want \c_job_name_tl. However, I'd use the \str_if_eq:xxTF test
here, as you want a string comparison

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{expl3}
\begin{document}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\str_if_eq:nnTF{a}{\c_job_name_tl}{true}{false}
\ExplSyntaxOff
\end{document}

(This will work with \jobname as well, but the 'official' interface to
that in LaTeX3 is \c_job_name_tl.)
