No you will have to strip of the foil. If you are lucky it will come off in one long strip - easy...........
others will say yes...I disagree.....remove the wall paper....you will be saving your self from a headache down the road
Please, do it right and remove the wallpaper. The glue is sticking now, but as it ages, it will loosen and you will have to remove it anyway. It's always easy to tell if someone has taken a shortcut and painted over wallpaper either by the embossing showing through or the vertical stripes at the wallpaper edges. Not a good look.

Easy to remove wallpaper..spray bottle of water with fabric softener in it..peels right off. Soak it down and experiment with it on time, usually ten min..
