Not even close. At the present opposition it would be roughly the angular diameter of a penny at arm's length. That would be a very puny field of view.
The perceived size of an object can be deceptive when looking through a telescope. Try looking at Mars with one eye at the eyepiece and simultaneously look at a penny with the other eye.
