It may do but it will destroy the delicate cells of the onion and a frozen onion would be difficult to cut, I suggest you refrigerate the onion to cool the fumes that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes or my preferred method is to peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap. It might make you cry.
