Yes, more satellites would improve the performance. Unfortunately the current GPS system can not handle any more satellites. Due to the way data is encoded in the GPS transmissions there can be only 32 satellites in total, and there are already that many satellites.
The proposed modernization of the GPS system, or a new system such as Galileo could allow more satellites though.
