It is unlikely the Janapese would have surrendered in this scenario. The Japanese had a nuclear bomb program of their own that they had adandoned earlier in the war, so were likely as aware of the power of the device as the Americans at that time. A demonstration would have had little effect on their desire or lack of it to continue the war.

The decisive conclusion of the Pacific War through Japanese unconditional surrender came at due to three factors. The first were Truman's decision to conduct nuclear strikes against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The second were that Japan risked invasion of its homeland from both the Soviet Union and the United States (the planed but never executed Operation Downfall). The choices between being overrun by the Soviet Union, and ending further nuclear strikes, proved instrumental in the Japanese decision to surrender to the United States.
