It might work -- but Premiere Elements is not designed to be backwards compatible and it might corrupt your project file or make elements of it non-functional.

Our standard advice is to complete your project in the version of the program you started it in. But, if you do want to try opening it in a more recent version of the program, make a copy of the project file so that, if thinks go south, you won't lose your original project!
