Answer:
Not necessarily. A box with a large top and bottom but a very small height could have a small volume in spite of its large surface area.
Here is an example. Suppose that Box A has dimensions 10 x 10 x 1 and Box B has dimensions 5 x 5 x 5.
Box B has a surface area = 2(25+25+25) = 150 and a volume of 5x5x5= 125
Box A has a larger surface area = 2(100+10+10) = 240 and a smaller volume = 10x10x1 = 100.
