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.

What is in an underwater lava flow called?

An underwater lava flow is called "pillow lava" when it forms from the rapid cooling of lava upon contact with water. This type of lava takes on a rounded, pillow-like shape due to the formation of a crust that traps the molten lava inside, which then expands and breaks through the surface. Pillow lava is commonly found at mid-ocean ridges and volcanic ocean floors.

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.
