Yes and considering you have to ask I would suggest that you get an electrician to do it. In any case the power should be turned of prior to attempting to do anything. House power can be deadly.
Turn off all of the circuit breakers in your home/apartment prior to doing anything to it, wear gloves when you yank it, and make sure to use plastic- or rubber-insulated pliers to pull it.

Because there is no path for the electricity to return with only one prong. Electricity needs a complete path to flow through. If you were to grab a hot prong and the electrical source then that would work, but I don't recommend it.
