Adding rear exhaust fan will reduce the hot air entering your PSU and keeps it from overheating.
Though, to solve your PSU overheating problem, replace your top mounted PSU PC case with bottom mounted PSU PC case. With this, your PSU has it's own airflow setup, independent from the rest of the case. With bottom mounted PSU PC cases (e.g Corsair 100R), there's no worries your PSU can overheat.

Short answer: Maybe.
Long answer:
That depends on a fan and RPM which the exhaust fan spins.
For example, Corsair AF120 fan spinning at 1100 RPM has such a poor performance that it may not exhaust enough hot air to make a difference. But if you'd add an epic fan like Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM, which spins at 3000 RPM and moves a ton of air, the difference is both seen and heard.

Noctua also offers 80mm fans, e.g AF-A8 PWM,

In general, 2200 RPM fan can be better than it's lower speed counterparts. Though, for time being (before you get yourself bottom mounted PSU PC case), 2200 RPM fan will do.
