I doubt it will die unless you completely clean your GH and disinfect it with something. Meanwhile increase air circulation by adding more fans and as much ventilation as possible.

Since tomato and pepper are related (solanaceae), it would be better to plant something from a different family. Any type of cucucumber or other melon might be more resistant to a disease specific to tomato / pepper.

Here is a link that might be useful: solanaceous plants
