Yes. Be sure to use adhesive between the layers. The screws you should use are called laminating screws. They are slightly larger than the regular drywall screws (Number 9 versus number 8 or 6). Be sure the drywall you intend to cover is in good shape and secure. You don't want both layers falling off the wall.
