Depending on what it is that your app does the answer is yes it will run on a tablet. However if you designed that app for phone sized devices it is likely going to not be the greatest user experience for tablet if you make no changes to it. If you want to support both phone and tablet consider making tablet specific layouts so that at the very least you can make use of the extra screen real-estate.
One of the newer honeycomb features allows the user to choose zoom or stretch mode when using apps designed for phones this alleviates some of the problems but it is still best to design a layout specific for tablets.
Edit: This question has some great links to get you started working with tablets.
