It all depends on why the hole was there. If the pinhole developed because something hit the line an weakened it in just that spot (a dropped screwdriver, for example), then plugging it and wrapping it tightly to keep the plug in place may work.
However, most pinholes start from the inside out. And if it is a corrosion issue, that pinhole has LOTs of friends - you've just found the precocious one. Like a rust bubble that shows up on a fender, it usually means the entire underside is rotted.
A bandaid would be to clean the area well, plug with something like JB weld, and keep it in place with some strong external wrap. But if I were planning on keeping the car, I'd start looking for a replacement hose. Because if there is one corrosion leak, a bunch more will shortly pop up, and may do so catastrophically.
