Yes it would, but unless you have a plant-only tank I wouldn't bother.
I once added one liter of water that I carbonated (using a Sodastream) into a 10 gallon tank with fish in it. This was a horrible idea. Essentially what I did was cause an immediate PH swing and all the fish immediately started gasping and swimming erratically. I quickly netted them all out into another tank and managed to save them all, but I would never repeat that experiment again.
Just get a pressurized (or maybe DIY) CO2 setup, unless you are only growing plants in the tank, in which case go nuts with the soda.
