No, if you yank the stick back on a 172 that is in unaccelerated straight and level flight at 100kt, it will instantly climb! (due to inertia and the increased angle of attack of the wing chord to the relative airflow). Depending upon the angle of climb induced, it may subsequently stall or continue to climb at a lower speed. Sorry to be picky...
