At idle, yes it would if your motor is in poor shape. The PCV valve is open when not under acceleration, so if you have any blow-by gases, they're going straight into the combustion chamber to be burned.

Go to Discount Auto, get a brass fitting that is the same size as the PCV and delete it. then run that hose to a catch can or just dump it behind the firewall. PCV valves suck.
