The simplest way to find out is writing a small app. Assign different values to both variables, print out the temp variable and see which value gets printed.

Once you have tested it, you can read a bit on it (for example here).

Restated: I have an instance variable named foo, will it get masked by a parameter named foo?

The area of the code over which a variable's name may be validly used is called its scope.

Variables with more narrow scope will mask variables of wider scope.
