It all depends on what workloads the VMs will be doing and what sort of physical resources your ESX server has - Troy's suggestion is a good starting point -

not much information to go off. However, you will most likely run out of memory before anything else.

I would say look at 4 - 6 VM's per core

....but the true answer is "it depends"
