If wolves and lynx both prey on the same small animals will they be under pressure to change in ways that increase or decrease their competition ?

Yes. Since they hunt the same prey, they will compete for the resources unless there is a change. (New prey is introduced, and wolves get to feed on those, or a harsh winter kills the prey, and the wolves and lynxes find separate species of prey to eat, etc.)
