  The $\rm{H}\alpha$-to-UV luminosity ratio ($L(\rm H\alpha)/L(\rm UV)$) is
often used to probe SFHs of star-forming galaxies and it is important to
validate it against other proxies for burstiness. To address this issue, we
present a statistical analysis of the resolved distribution of
$\Sigma_{\rm{SFR}}$ as well as stellar age and their correlations with the
globally measured $L(\rm H\alpha)/L(\rm UV)$ for a sample of 310 star-forming
galaxies in two redshift bins of $1.37 < z < 1.70$ and $ 2.09 < z < 2.61$
observed by the MOSDEF survey. We use the multi-waveband CANDELS/3D-HST imaging
of MOSDEF galaxies to construct $\Sigma_{\rm{SFR}}$ and stellar age maps. We
analyze the composite rest-frame far-UV spectra of a subsample of MOSDEF
targets obtained by the Keck/LRIS, which includes 124 star-forming galaxies
(MOSDEF-LRIS) at redshifts $1.4 < z < 2.6$, to examine the average stellar
population properties, and the strength of age-sensitive FUV spectral features
in bins of $L(\rm H\alpha)/L(\rm UV)$. Our results show no significant evidence
that individual galaxies with higher $L(\rm H\alpha)/L(\rm UV)$ are undergoing
a burst of star formation based on the resolved distribution of
$\Sigma_{\rm{SFR}}$ of individual star-forming galaxies. We segregate the
sample into subsets with low and high $L(\rm H\alpha)/L(\rm UV)$. The
high-$L(\rm H\alpha)/L(\rm UV)$ subset exhibits, on average, an age of
$\log[\rm{Age/yr}]$ = 8.0, compared to $\log[\rm{Age/yr}]$ = 8.4 for the
low-$L(\rm H\alpha)/L(\rm UV)$ galaxies, though the difference in age is
significant at only the $2\sigma$ level. Furthermore, we find no variation in
the strengths of Siiv$\lambda\lambda1393, 1402$ and Civ$\lambda\lambda1548,
1550$ P-Cygni features from massive stars between the two subsamples.
