Will this circuit work if I substituted the AA battery holder with 1 Coin type battery both will be at3v. Will the coin battery have enough power. The reason for asking is that with the AA battery holder it make the project rather bulky.

Yes if you use a CR2032 coin cell it can deliver up to 10mA which is enough to run the circuit. It should last for around 10 to 15 hours.
