The first sentence is incorrect; the second one is correct.
Why? Here's a simple rule : When you're talking about the future, the following words need to be followed by a present tense:
if
when
whether
unless
as soon as
These words can be followed by a present simple, present continuous or even present perfect, but not a future - that's why the sentence with 'will' is wrong.

The second one is correct according to the first condition. If + present simple, future.
