Check the laptop support page, they mention the maximum the slot can support.
I would again advise you to buy an 8GB stick. and combine with your existing soldered 4GB in total 12 GB RAM will make your life easier.
From my experience, I can tell you that if you are a regular average user, this would suffice your needs and maybe change your mind about upgrading to a new laptop for a year or so.

Buy the RAM with the same frequency as your older one i.e. 2133Hz otherwise even if you buy with a higher frequency it will still match the slower one. And Getting a RAM will definitely improve your overall experience. And before buying refer to the manual of your model and you can search in the forums regarding upgrade there you can find relevant details.

One of my friends is using an I5-5200U processor laptop with 4Gb ram and 500gb ssd and is a programmer and uses some heavy softwares too. I am in a dilemma whether to get another 4gb ram or an 8gb one.
What would you guys suggest?

If it is normal day to day usage RAM upgrade can help. But if you are going to use heavy applications then it won't work as the processor will be the bottleneck. So upgrading to a new laptop with a good processor will be a good choice.
