Can Process.Start Be Executed concurrently on IIS

This method is defined within an ASP.NET Web application (.NET 4.5.2) that runs on IIS 6 or above:

public string GetValueFromProcess()
{
    string val = string.Empty;
    try
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(GetMyExeFilePath());
        p.WaitForExit();
        val = mainp.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
    }
    catch (Exception) { }
    return val;
}

Will such a function be able to execute concurrently without problems or will I wrap it with a lock?

Obviously there are parameters that shall be passed along to the process but I removed that part for simplicity.

The function will block the current request, waiting for "p.WaitForExit();" to complete. Concurrent requests will spawn multiple processes. You will also need to consider the IIS request script timeout setting which will throw a ThreadAbort exception.
