It depends on what's behind it. If it's just open air, just mud won't work.
It'll eventually fall into the wall.
What I'd do is cut the whole larger (6" wide?) and then slide in a piece of
wood, fastened to the back of the wall with a couple screws from the front.
Then cut a new piece of drywall just a hair smaller than the hole and screw
it to the piece of wood. Finally mud and tape the joints as you would with
any other joint.
