Will carbon dioxide still be produced although it is aqueous? An equation will be helpful. Thanks!

Copper carbonate is insoluble in water . Therefore you cannot have aqueous copper carbonate. If you add the copper carbonate to water and heat it the maximum temperature that can be attained is 100°C. Will copper carbonate decompose at this temperature:
Copper carbonate decomposes at 290 °C, giving off carbon dioxide and leaving copper(II) oxide:
CuCO3 (s) → CuO (s) + CO2 (g)
Obviously 100°C is too low to do this.
The answer to your question is : No - You will not get CO2 when CuCO3 is heated in water.

CuCO3 upon heating produces CO2 and black powder.
CuCO3 ----> CuO + CO2
The black powder is the copper oxide.
