It will work, but I would try to find one where the Working Voltage rating is a little closer to what exists in your circuit. AFAIK, if electrolytics are operated far below their WV rating, they do not "form" their dielectric properly.

It's kinda frustrating... When I say to the shopkeepers "I wanna 10 1uF caps, blah blah blah" and I get these small ones with a 50V rating. I wonder if this is significant? For electronics with 12V supply...
Yes...
You'r right that's why I ask this question.
If you take a look in your junk box I'am sure you will find
some 10uf 16V in two or three size, a big one, a little
one, a tinny tinny one all with the same value.
And it's the same with this Ceramic Capacitors, a 104
can be as little as 4 mm and as big as 10 mm.
And here a new question come up to my mind ...
If You have a big 10uf 16V in your circuit ..can you
replace it with a tinny one with same value ?
I do understand What MikeMl explain about "dielectric"
And why it is necessary to find a capacitor as close as posible
to the old one.
