Without the comma, the sentence would be awkward and could be interpreted differently because of the placement of 'no doubt' as a kind of modifier (it is like the word surely, definitely, of course, also etc). With the comma the no doubt more strongly refers to the 'placement' of 'this' and not to the 'will be'.

In broad terms, such phrases/words are considered types of 'interruptors' which interrupt the normal flow of the sentence and so usually utilize a comma to clarify matters and make the reading/flow more easily.
