Should Two Pills Be Taken If Missed One Birth Control Pill?

I am taking Yaz birth control pills. I'm in my first week of a new pack, and I just realized that I missed one pill. The problem is I don't know which day I missed. I believe I took a pill yesterday, so I think the missed pill was approximately 2-3 days ago. Should I take two pills today to get back on track, or just keep taking one pill a day since I am pretty sure my missed pill was over 24 hours ago?
