It's probably fine....
How old is the car, what engine, and how many miles?
You may be due for a timing belt change soon, and if you are, I would recommend you do the timing belt, water pump, and thermostat all at once. For now, you really need to address the overheating issue. A thermostat is a cheap part, and easy enough to change on it's own. If that doesn't solve the issue, then the next step will be the waterpump...but as I said, at that point, you will probably want to consider spending extra money and doing the timing belt work with it.
