wikipedia has a nice article on sodium bicarbonate. In it, we find:

NaHCO3 may be obtained by the reaction of carbon dioxide with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The initial reaction produces sodium carbonate:

CO2 + 2 NaOH → Na2CO3 + H2O

Further addition of carbon dioxide produces sodium bicarbonate, which at sufficiently high concentration will precipitate out of solution:

Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 NaHCO3

So, the answer is yes, and a little web search could have saved you the trouble of posting here (and me the trouble of doing your homework).

A word of caution. I ALMOST answered this NO, because I read your Co2 as a cobalt compound.
CO is carbon monoxide
Co is cobalt
co is the abbreviation for company.
Be careful with your caps key. Use it appropriately.
