I wouldn't be so sure about that. Even at the beginning of the journey. Frodo has had the ring for 17 years now. Frodo wanted to throw it into his fire to destroy it, now of course that small fire wouldn't do anything against the ring. Point is when Gandalf asked him to do it, Frodo couldn't and he just stuck it back in his pocket. So you already have Frodo being "corrupted" by the ring, here before he even left Bag End. Now to say at this point in the stage would he give it up? I think he would but it would take some prodding and some help from Gandalf, in my opinion.
