It depends on if by "the 1970s" you mean 1972/73 or post-1975. I don't think it would have a tougher time than post-1975, when many states rescinded it. It would most likely have a tougher time than 1972/73.
Actually, I think it's hard to predict what the debate over ERA would look like today. One could easily see it getting rejected out of hand in deep red states, but one could also see it as something akin to gay marriage, where younger GOPers end up embracing it and it develops a forward momentum.
