Yes, you can use a 20cm cake tin instead of an 18cm one. However, the cake will be thinner and may bake faster. To compensate, you might need to reduce the baking time by a few minutes. Keep an eye on the cake and test for doneness with a skewer or toothpick; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
