Not the whole ocean of course, it is much too large. However at the point where lava enters the ocean some water will definitely boil off.

Describe the appearance of lava flows along the ocean floor?

When a volcano ejects lava from the ocean floor, the lava cools very rapidly. This causes the outside of the lava plume to solidify. Pressure builds inside this lava pillow, as it is usually described, until it breaks through a weak area in the pillow "shell" and forms a new lava pillow. The process repeats until the lava source is exhausted or the pressure wanes.
