It will be replaced. The file that is being replaced gets deleted/overwritten with the one that is being copied over it. This is only possible if the two files have the exact same file-name and extension, provided the file being replaced isn't write-protected. Size and date are not relevant.

In a P2P file sharing application do you agree with the statement there is no notion of client and server sides of a communication session and Why?

In P2P file sharing there is no dedicated server to transfer or share files. In file sharing using email you use a client server architecture, meaning every time you send something it goes from your computer to a server and then to the computer you are sending to. In P2P file sharing it simply goes from your computer to the next. P2P is found in file distribution with Bit-Torrent and in file sharing with eMule and LimeWire.
