No it wouldn't. It would just have pissed us off even more.
Would it have effected how we prosecuted the war in the Pacific? Certainly. A shortage of carriers would hurt badly. But it wouldn't be the kind of thing that would knock us out of the war. It wouldn't even have prolonged it, because we still develop the Bomb in 1945. Except maybe instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we hit Tokyo and Berlin.
