Set them to Extend your desktop instead of mirroring. Make sure the Mirroring option is not checked.
I did not mean that what cables should I use? splitters ect..
Ohh, You'll need a couple of Mini-Display Port adapters.
Which ones you need exactly depend on what connections are available on the monitors you plan to use. VGA? DVI? HDMI?
The Mini Display Port Adapters connect to the Thunderbolt ports on the side of the MacBook Pro and convert the signal to a connection type the monitors can use.
My monitors are Acer and they use VGA and DVI. On my mac I have one mini display and usb 2.0. Please advice what hardware should I buy. Brandmodel etc Thank you so much
You can use a Mini Display Port to DVI adapter, and then a splitter:

And 2 DVI cables to connect the Monitors to it.

Yes, I changed my answer above to reflect the single Thunderbolt port:
