\b[Yes.] The states $|\Phi^+\rangle$ and $|\Phi^-\rangle$ are orthogonal, since
$$
\langle\Phi^+|\Phi^-\rangle=\frac12(1-1)=0.
$$
A joint projective measurement in the Bell basis therefore distinguishes them with certainty. Concretely, a controlled-NOT followed by a <Hadamard gate> converts the Bell basis into the computational basis before measurement.
