Not necessarily. Having the same volume does not mean having the same surface area. As an example, if you were to take a sphere with volume 4/3*pi*r^3, and a suface area of 4*pi*r^2, and compare it to a cube with sides 4/3, pi, and 4^3, you would find that they had a different surface area, but the same volume. Let the radius of the sphere be 2, that is r = 2. In this case the surface are of the sphere is about 50, and the surface are of the cube is about 80. So a sphere and a cube, both with a volume of about 33.51 (4/3 * pi * 8), have different surface areas.
