have a question regrading private keys,

I have openssl 1024 bit x509 private key with a passphrase. I
decrypted the private key with the following command,

openssl rsa -in mykey.private -out mykey.privd (it asked me for a
password and then generated mykey.privd

now my question is that if a users has just the mykey.privd file, can
he know my password? it is reasonable to assume that he won't be able
to crack that easily?
