Unfortunately, unless you mailed certified with return receipt (which is the only proof of mailing that the IRS accepts) or used another tracking service you have no way to know if the IRS even received the tax return.     Not much that you can do now but wait.  It would not be a good idea to mail a 2nd return because if they get them both then having two returns in the system will require special hand processing that can take 6 month or more.
