You should provide more information.

If you mean that we view $C(X)$ as a $C^*$-algebra and isomorphism means unital $^*$-isomorphism, then the answer is yes. In fact, any unital $^*$-homomorphism between two unital $C^*$-algebras is continuous.

Even weaker, every unital algebra automorphism of $C(X)$ is continuous.
