No, it is not literal. It is kind of slang, but it is very common. It has only one meaning: Do it right away ... Do it immediately ... Hurry up ... Do it quickly.

@Juneheavens
If a person is snappy, it means they are a bit rude and answer people harshly. The idea of “snappy” is something that bounces back quickly, like an elastic. Asking someone to make something snappy is also a bit rude. A parent might say that to a child, or an employer might say it to an employee but in both cases it would still be rude unless the two people have a good relationship where they joke together. If I said it to my secretary, she would be very offended and might consider making a complaint to the Human Resources department. If I said this to a cashier who was talking to someone when I thought she should be working more quickly to ring up my groceries, I think it would start a fight.

@Juneheavens Also, maybe these expressions are related:
- It'll be a snap = It'll be really easy.
- I can do it in a snap = I can do it really quickly OR I can do it right away.
