No, the paper in hot water will not remain waterproof as hot water dissolves or remove oils by making the molecules to expand.
As we have read that molecules expands in the presence of heat and contract in cold.
The cold water being low in temperature, makes the molecule of fat to contract and bind more perfectly.
Hence, the paper in hot water will not remain waterproof.
