No but it could affect your chances of having both survive to adulthood.
If they are male and female I HIGHLY suggest seperating them until the female is large enough to breed. If you don't you run the risk of egg binding, which can be fatal.
Seperate them until they are of age, at least.

The fact you don't know who is who is exactly why they should be alone. No accidents this way with early breeding.
Females should be at least 36 inches, with good girth. Age can't really be used in every case but *most* females are large enough by three years old. Males can go younger and smaller because they aren't carrying eggs.

I agree with BMM
PS, Are these snakes siblings? If so please let me discourage you from breeding them. There are times that inbreeding is needed to preserve a certain gene, but there are too many in the hobby who breed siblings just because that's what they have. Please ask yourself why you want to breed cornsnakes and who is going to take the hatchlings.
I have witnessed male/male agression, and egg binding in small females. So there's a 75% chance of potential problems JUST with their possible genders. Then there's cross-contamination, feeding injuries, and even a slight chance of cannibalism. I'd seperate them.
