Sure will. gpg -c is what you want.
Make sure you are using a MDC, which means either using one of the 128bit blocksize ciphers (your gpg will probably use AES256 by default, which is good - gpg -vc to find out) or passing the --force-mdc option. If you want protection in the way of recovering from random bit errors rather than just detecting them, running par2 against the encrypted archive might be the way to go.
