Answer

No, it is not hot enough.

Work Step by Step

The vacuum drops the boiling point for water to well below $100^{\circ}C$. Room-temperature water in a vacuum will boil. An egg is cooked by heat entering it from surrounding high-temperature water, not by the mere bubbling of the water. This is discussed on page 327 (refer to Figure 17.14).
