Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\text{No}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Na reacts with all OH groups to produce hydrogen.

The reaction with cyclobutanol is shown below.  

The reaction with butanoic acid is

[tex]\rm CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}COOH\xrightarrow{\text{Na}} CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}COO^{-} + H_{2}[/tex]

Both compounds release bubbles of hydrogen, so you can't use sodium to distinguish between them.
