I am working with a CMYK image where the original resolution is 72dpi. Is it possible to ‘upsample’ it to 300dpi (for printing purposes) by saving it at the higher resolution, or is that a pointless exercise (other than to give me a much larger file size)?

Sitara,

It will result in a larger file size and you may also see some loss of detail or softening as PS inserts the required pixels to achieve your resolution.
Use Bicubic Smoother when upsampling.
You are in a "suck it and see" situation 😉
