Pet's info: Small Animal | Guinea Pig | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 2.5 lbs
My guinea pig is 1 1/2 years old , she has been sneezing with a decent amount of snot coming out. She is usually very vocal and this past evening she has been very quiet. Should I be concerned?

Yes, you should definitely be concerned. That amount of nasal discharge (snot) is a worrisome. I suspect she either has a dental/sinus problem or an upper respiratory infection. She really needs to see a vet (preferably one that is used to treating guinea pigs). ( https://yarmouthvetcenter.com/guinea-pig-sneezing.pml )
