I think the exact approach would depend on your use case. You could implement a queue manager process, where all new instances would write to a database table (the queue) and the manager process would initiate new instances one at a time off the queue.
Alternatively, a simple loop with a timer node can periodically re-check for running instances, and proceed with the new instance once there aren't any others running.

Can we Queue the triggered Processes if the Instance are running

I believe this can be handled via a process report, along with the queryProcessAnalytics function(docs.appian.com/.../fnc_system_a_queryprocessanalytics.html). I recommend you include the process instance Id as part of your query criteria, as I have seen this type of implementation find the new instance when checking for existing instances.
