As mpetry912 says, try it and find out.

However: “MTB” front derailleurs tend to use a longer cable pull than “road” front derailleurs. If you are using brifters, there might not be enough travel to make the shift happen. There are front derailleurs that will work “properly” with road brifters and small chainrings (‘90’s era RSX, IRD Alpina, Microshift) but you have to find them and try them.
Caveat: my knowledge is 10 to 25 years old. What’s available now and what works now is up to you to find out.
