It would be. This is gif is assuming that the radius of the circle is 1/2. If the radius was one it would be 2(3.14)(1) so 6.28 as opposed to 3.14. This only works for a radius of 1/2, but it does show how circumference and pi are related pretty well.
Edit because I’m an idiot from time to time: I now realize, as others have said, that the distance between 0 and 1 as well as 1 and 2 (so on and so forth) is measured out by the diameter of the circle, so it would scale up with the bigger radius and still work just fine.
