Should you quit watering if you want cantaloupe to ripen?

I have a lot of cantaloupe in my garden and they are quite large.  If I stop watering them will they ripen faster?

they need about a inch of water a week depending on the soil and the heat  you can check to see if they are ripe by smelling the melon (very strong odor) should almost fall off the vine
