Yes but only if you sit up the experiment right. What I don't now is why.
Boiled peas can produce carbon dioxide through a process called fermentation. When boiled peas are mashed and mixed with sugar and yeast, the yeast consumes the sugars and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. This process occurs when the mixture is kept warm and anaerobic (without oxygen), allowing the yeast to thrive and generate carbon dioxide, which can be observed as bubbles in the mixture.
Boiled yeast has been heated to a high temperature, which kills the yeast cells and deactivates the enzymes. Unboiled yeast is live and active, capable of fermenting sugars and producing carbon dioxide. Boiled yeast is typically used in recipes that do not require fermentation, such as bread recipes that call for instant yeast.

Fermentation.

carbon dioxide and ethanol
Yeast cells are alive. However, it takes in oxygen in the form of glucose. yeast + glucose -> alcohol + CO2 We know that yeast cells are alive because it produces wastes (alcohol and carbon dioxide) and they reproduce.
Carbon dioxide
When yeast cells bubble, it means that they are producing carbon dioxide as a byproduct of fermentation. This process is common in the baking and brewing industries, where the carbon dioxide helps to leaven bread dough or carbonate beer.
If there is a little moisture too, then the yeast cells will multiply and turn the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas will inflate the balloon.
Carbon dioxide is produced during alcohol fermentation when yeast cells break down sugars to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as byproducts.
