The bulb need the correct voltage to operate. Your bulb would light if it is a 1.5 volt light. So the voltage of the supply and the light must be matched. Too little voltage won't light the light, too much will light it too much and blow it up.

It can - but it will be very dim. The resistance of a 4.5v bulb is higher than a 1.5v bulb - needing more voltage to bring it to the same brightness. Since the 1.5v battery cannot supply the correct voltage - the 4.5v bulb will not glow at it's full brightness.

at 1.5 volts it will glow dimly, or possibly not at all.

At 4.5 volts it will glow very brightly, but it will quickly burn out.

How do you change the license plate bulb on a Toyota matrix?

Open the hatch door. Right behind the license on the inside of the door is a cover that you take off using a thin blade. This exposes the back of the bulb holder and the wire connected to it. Remove the wire by pulling on the connector that fits into the back of the bulb holder. The back of the bulb holder then needs a quarter turn counter clockwise. The best tool to use to turn the bulb holder is a 15 mm socket on an extension long enough to reach the bulb holder inside the hatch. Once you have removed the bulb holder, you can simply pull the bulb straight out of the front of the bulb holder. Replace the bulb with a #168 bulb.
