No, the pitch doesn't change, because even though it's shorter scale, you're still tuning the string to the same pitch as a standard viola and the spacings for each note will also scale according to the instrument size. The note spacing for a 1/32 size viola/violin is in exactly the same ratio as the 4/4 size in comparison to the string.
