If the lens is not sharp enough, it will remove the resolution advantage. If the light is bland and bad and therefore there are no fine details to pick up because there are no shadows or gradients, then the resolution advantage will be removed. If the photo is of something where detail isn't important, then the high resolution isn't an advantage at all. If the light is low and you need a high ISO, the noise may remove the high resolution advantage.
If you need extremely high resolution, and shape your entire technique and kit around achieving that resolution, and a lower MP camera doesn't get you what you need, then a higher MP count camera may improve the reproducible size of your images. If you don't, or you don't, and you don't, then, no, it will just give you bigger larger files.
