No, updating your iPad to the most recent of iOS supported by your iPad (i.e., iOS 12.4.8) will have minimal (if any) impact of battery life - noting (as already outlined by Skydiver119) that, due to its age, the achievable battery life will be less than that when it was new.
However, updating to the highest supported version is highly advisable - as this ensures that essential security updates have been installed.

Given the physical age of your ipad the iOS you’re running wont’ make much difference. That battery is several years old.
