Yes it would.

The volatile oils in the membrane between layers of onion make your eyes water, provided the onion is sufficiently warm; if the onion is cold the vapours won't be released during cutting. For this reason, onions should be kept in the refrigerator; store them in a plastic bag, twisted to keep out the air.

You can put them in several layers of plastic bags, or in a tightly-sealed plastic container so that they don't cause your refrigerator to smell of onions.

Can chewing gum prevent you from crying when cutting onions?

When cutting onions, cells are broken, releasing certain substances that are modified and then reach the eyes through diffusion, where they cause irritation on contact. To prevent the eyes from watering, you have to prevent the gas from reaching them - for example by cutting the onion underwater. Chewing gum might help a little if you chew with your mouth open and also breathe through your mouth. You will simply disturb the gas's diffusion this way.
