Did I plant my tomato plants too close to each other?

Here is an image of my plants. I think these pots should only hold one plant each and they both have two plants. They are starting to produce fruit but I'm afraid that they are going to suffocate each other. Can I leave them as is, or do I need to pull a plant from each pot?

I agree with you. There probably should only be 1 plant per pot.

I'm sure it's not too late for you to dig them up and replant them!

What do you think would happen if I left them? I don't have two more pots and I live in an urban area without easy access to a gardening place. Would all four survive?
