If you didn't run it with a completely soaked filter the car will be fine but a new filter couldn't hurt. Really depends on what material the filter is made out of.

If it's a paper based filter, I'd probably replace it if it got really wet. If it has a washable gauze or foam element (ie - K&N style) then it'll be perfectly fine. Just pull it off, make sure no water is pooled in the intake piping, and clean/re-oil it per the instructions.
