Not possible.

A 1st gen iPad Mini cannot upgrade/update beyond IOS 9.3.5.

Its internal hardware is too old and too underpowered to efficiently and effectively run any newer IOS versions.

Heed my advice in my above link about ditching that nearly 3-year old Safari Web browser and seek out another iOS 9 compatible, more current, secure and up to date, third party iOS Web browser.
