I would remove it and then sand the floor to get a good even surface, otherwise your floor might not look smooth. Here are tips for removing the glue:http://homeguides.sfgate.com/removing-glue-floors-after-tile-removal-30433.htmlHelpful Reply -

You'll need to remove the adhesive first. You can try scrapping it off but probably need something like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ready-Strip-1-gal-Mastic-Remover-MR01/100665910Helpful Reply -

NO. YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE PAINT ADHERING TO THE FLOOR AS IT WILL NEVER DRY PROPERLY. IT MAY BE BEST TO INSTALL VINYL TILES OR FLOORING.Helpful Reply -

You could put some 1/4 or 1/2 thick luan plywood over the floor to give you a new smooth floor to paint on. It comes in 4 x 8 sheets and you can cut it to fit. I would NOT paint over the old adhesive.Helpful Reply -

I had a similar problem after a basement flood; vinyl flooring had been glued down and left a horrible glue residue after taken up. The pros just shook their head and couldn't offer a solution other than strong chemicals. Finally I just bought some ordinary play sand in the smallest quantity available. Used an old broom to spread it over the glue. Amazingly I could then simply scrape it up and discard. Took a very small amount of sand to solve a huge problem (over 600 SF of floor). No chemicals, just elbow grease.2 marked as helpful Reply -
