It will definitely help with evaporation but it may prevent good air exchange and will also limit the amount of light that passes through it. They can also grow a pretty good crop of algae oif you don't clean them regularly.

I keep the tops on. Its a pain. I may get a larger ato and take the tops off. I have to clean the glass at least once a week and the glass traps the heat from the lights as well. The evaporation should help to cool your tank. I got a chiller just to make up for the difference. Totally a matter of choice. If you do keep the glass on do the maintenance of you'll be sorry.
