Will I be given an option to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04.1 from 14.04 when I bootup from a cd or usb drive? Or do I need to do a complete new install?
Thank you.

If you have been doing regular updates, you may already have 14.04.1.
check $lsb_release -a
If you have 14.04 and you have been allowing it to install all the updates, you will already have all the updates included in 14.04.1.
The "point releases" like this are a way of bundling all the updates that have been released so far so that people installing 14.04 "fresh" (eg from a DVD) won't need to download so many updates immediately after installation. It may also allow a smoother installation process because the version being installed will benefit from any new hardware support in those updates.
But if you already have a 14.04 system you'll already have those updates.
If lsb_release -a
shows that you are running 14.04 try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo shutdown -r now
After the reboot you should be running Ubuntu 14.04.1
