    Go to Settings / General / Software Update and see what gets offered there. That's the ONLY option you can update to, if any.

    If it is an iPhone, as stated in your profile, then it should be able to be updated to iOS 7.1.2, but that is the last version it can be updated to. As Couroul states, check. However, since the device does not have iOS 5 or above already, you will not see the section provided to check for the update OTA. You will need to connect the device to the computer and iTunes and check from there.
