If it is pumping at low pressure then yes, but the engine will just idle and not much more than that. If it does not pump at all, then no.

What will a bad fuel pump relay do to your car?
Bad fuel pump relays aren't very common but i do run across them every now and then. If the relay is bad one of 2 things will happen - if the relay is "open" (unable to complete the circuit)then the fuel pump will not run and the car will fail to start. If the fuel pump is shorted (the contacts in the relay are fused together)then the fuel pump will never shut off...even if you shut the car off and the key is in your hand the fuel pump will continue to run until the battery is drained of voltage. Then the car will not start without charging the battery or "jumping" the car. About the worst thing a bad fuel pump can do to your car is cause it not to start. It could possibly ruin your battery if the battery sits discharged too long. However the odds on that are not great. Just charge the battery - change out the bad fuel pump relay and everything should be OK.
