If by worse you mean formal US involvement in Vietnam, and largely unfettered control of military actions in Vietnam by President Lyndon Johnson, then yes.
The Tonkin Gulf Resolution, Public Law 88-408, passed 7 August 1964, was in response to the two attacks against US Navy vessels (the USS Maddox on August 2 and the USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy on August 4) in the Tonkin Gulf.
The Tonkin Gulf issue simply initiated open war between North Vietnam and the US. Prior to the Gulf incident there was no war between Hanoi and Washington, only a guerrilla war against the Viet Cong in RVN (Republic of South Vietnam)...not a war against North Vietnam itself.
