Yes, only if it is done by LBC (Liquid Based Cytology) . It can detect the presence of HPV 16 and 18 on the pap smear brush, along with routine pap smear report.

The pap smear when done by liquid based cytology (LBC) method can be used for detecting HPV as well as cancer caused by HPV. The pap smear if done by conventional method can be used to only check for cancer cells. HPV detection will need another LBC sample. Check with your doctor what procedure is done in their hospital so that you can choose accordingly. For the purpose of cancer screening any method is acceptable.
