No, you can't install an app multiple times, this can be easily checked by going to My Account > My Purchases in the App Store and finding the app in question. If you do you will find that it will say "Open" if the app is installed and only if the app is not installed will it say "Redownload"

Multiple Copies of an App?

Hi, Group. Is it possible that someone installs multiple copies of an app to their iphone? The reason I am asking that some times I feel as I have installed an app more than once to my phone. Is this just my false assumption or I, in fact, have installed some apps multiple times? Thanks! --
