Yes it will.  Make sure that it is a REAL Apple 3.5 drive, though.
A UniDisk 3.5 won't like the Mac.  In fact, a UniDisk 3.5 does not
work well on a GS either (constant on and off of the drive motor
so that the Finder can keep track of disk swaps, slow access, must
use 4:1 interleave to compensate for slow access).

When connected to a Mac, the Apple 3.5 drive's daisy chain port
won't work, but otherwise it will function as an 800K drive.

If you need info on how to convert a UniDisk 3.5 (reversably)
to a faster Apple 3.5 drive, let me know.
