gouramis, like shark minnows, do not enjoy the company of the same or similar species. If they are recent additions, try to return one or the other, or attempt to separate them.

Do you think they might calm down or will they continue to fight

It is likely they will continue to be aggressive. If you provide plenty of hiding space, they might calm down, but it's not guaranteed.
And, I should add, not all gourami hate each other. It seems to be dwarf gourami that are most likely to attack their fellows.

Really this really sux because they both have great colors and there are a lot of hiding places one likes to hide in the roots of some fake drift wood and the other likes to hide in the plants.
