No. There are two molecular requirements that must be met to indicate aromaticity.
In order to be aromatic a molecule must:
1) have a ring of pi electrons above and below the molecule. This means:
a. The molecule must be cyclic.
b. All atoms in the ring must be sp2 hybridized
c. The molecule must be planar.
2) have an odd number of pairs of pi electrons.
Since acetic acid is not cyclic, it cannot meet the first requirement and therefore cannot be aromatic. There are, however, delocalized electrons that increase the stability of the compound.
