Does this guitar string work?

I snapped my first e string and i can only find a .016 replacement. Will it work if i string it and tune it or is it too thick?

Update:

Its a fender bullet electric if that helps

    way too thick, that is a "G" string

    It'll probably snap long before you get it up to an "E"

    (an .013 is considered a heavy "E")

    I may just work but it will sound like s h i t! You can try it, but get new strings as soon as possible, otherwise your guitar will sound bad.
