The foam will stick to the glue, but the floor will still be floating on the foam. You should be good to go just laying the new floor.

The contact adhesive used under the original tile will not dry, it's meant to stay tacky. I would not try to lay the tile over the glue as is. It will only make a mess, and make laying the new stuff 100x harder. You can either try to scrape the glue, or cover over the glue. You can try to paint over it, but that may just make things messier. You can also pick up some sheets of wood underlayment, lay over and staple/nail down, and then put the new flooring in.

Thin underlayment.
Like 1/8 inch for minimum stack up. I would be tempted to get a roll of fir veneer. |

We had a similar situation in our kitchen and I just covered it with the red-ish colored "paper" made for the purpose. It covers the old adhesive and allows a full float. So far so good (about a year). |

So far so good (about a year). It was used as a hardwood underlayment for many many years. Tar paper was occasionally used and eventually the smell usually dissipated. I was thinking about this last night as I fell asleep and though this would be about the lowest cost method to separate a new layer from the old. |

Definitely use an underlayment, the remaining residue will stick to the underside of the new flooring ---- not permanently, but just enough to make a weird noise as you walk on the floor.
Super annoying. Ask me how I know. |
