There is a slim possibility that things can go horribly wrong and you lose
your data. So, if the data is not that important you can go ahead. If it IS
important, then arrange a temp media where you take backups and go ahead
with resizing your partition.

Backup is like insurance. You wont need it until things break. You decide
what sort of insurance you want and proceed accordingly!
