No it would not! Initially it would have the mass of two protons. These two protons have nerly no gravitational effect. Adding another proton or even a bigger nuclei does not change that. Just because it has now 3 protons or more does not mean that it would hit multiple nuclei as its size stays the same.
You can compare an atom roughly with our solar system. Mainly empty space with some tiny rocks in it.
Image you would throw an orange size object through our solar system. How likely would it be to hit something?
