It depends on how many drops are put on the towel and how big the paper towel is. If it is full size, and you put one small drop on it, the towel would soak it up. The water would not fill up the whole paper towel, but just a bit. If it was a really big drop, it would probably soak through the paper towel and onto the surface the paper towel is laying on.
