"Spanish accent" is a bit misleading, because every variation of Spanish has a different "accent"...
It would also depend on how well the person spoke English - obviously then the person would use the English pronunciation. But even then a person might have some trouble with English J and "er", so perhaps something like "Jass-pehr".
Of course someone were to pronounce Jasper according to Spanish phonetics, it would be something like "has-pehr".
The Spanish form of the name is Gaspar.

Thank you! Would it not be unreasonable to sound like Hesper, for some accents?

I guess so. The sound [æ] in Jas doesn't exist in Spanish — so Spanish-speakers tend to replace it with either [a] or [e] (actually, many American accents replace it with [e] as well).
I think it would depend if the person was reading Jasper or hearing someone else pronounce Jasper in a specific English accent.
