Not enough info. The only "12 volt outlet" that is remotely standard is the lighter socket in a car. Most if not all cars have the negative side of the battery at ground, which is the outer shell of a lighter socket. So the center contact is positive. If you are asking about any other 12 volt outlet, you need to check it out with a meter, or get a diagram for the system.
