Yes you can do that but it will not stop the condensation forming.
Warm air in your property carries moisture around and when it finds something cold (your wall) it cools and is forced to release some of the water it's holding.
To stop the condensation forming provide some ventilation - open some windows and close some doors - keep the steam down. Buy, rent or borrow a dehumidifier - there'll be lingering damp in the fabric of the room which won't help - it builds up over time. Nip down to your nearest garden centre or Amazon and buy a cheap humidity meter - be surprised by what it tells you.
