Yes.
For 304L quenching may actually be advantageous from a corrosion standpoint by minimizing M23C6 ppt. formation (yes – even L grades will form some grain boundary carbide during welding). It may be disadvantageous with regard to distortion. If highly restrained and insufficient weld metal in place may cause cracking. You would have to supply more information.
Accelerated cooling to get interpass temperature down will likely have no effect – I have used water soaked rags to cool austenitic stainless steel welds from around 600F (315C) to 250F (120C) with no noticeable effects.

Is it possible to quench the subjected steel?
