Sperm exposed to the air has no chances of survival or cause pregnancy.
However, in the situation you describe if no protection, barrier or other contraceptive means was used, then any pre-ejaculate (fluid from the male penis) can also contain spermatic fluid which is still capable of fertilization and hence pregnancy.
It is always advised to use contraception for this purpose by either of the partners, and henceforth you should always use it to prevent future risk. Also for the time-being an emergency contraceptive can be taken if it has been less than 5 days since this episode.
Otherwise, you will need to wait till your next period and if late by 1 week, test yourself using home urine pregnancy test kits with the first morning sample to be sure.
