Definitely collect your facts and present your case, especially if you've taken on new responsibilities/projects. I would suggest though that you NOT compare your salary to the co-worker's salary when asking for the raise. Make the case based on your work.
My job has been extremely busy and I am hoping to find out in February that I'm getting a promotion. I have taken on huge amounts of responsibility in the past year because my co-worker became our manager so he hasn't time to do anything. I'm trying to train a new guy who isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and it's frustrating. If I don't give him step by step instructions for everything, he can't figure anything out on his own. I don't think he could troubleshoot a computer problem to save his life. When I do give him tasks, with step by step directions, if the slightest thing goes wrong, he's running to me for help. It's almost easier to just do everything myself, but then he will never learn. It's been a rough couple months.
