Depends on what you are doing. If you are doing a split body routine, and you are working out M, W,F on your schedule. Stick to your schedule and work through the pain. Although if you were injured during your workout I would not reccomend to workout until you are healed completely. Chances are likely its just a small case of "DOMS" (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) Search google on DOMS, there is lots of information on it. Most specialists reccomend to work through the pain. I believe there are also a few articles in this forum talking about working through the pain. Good luck on your ventures, and keep on trekking!
