If you look at the other stick of RAM it usually says on the stick.

Modern RAM uses a double data rate, so if your RAM is 800mhz in something like CPU-Z, I am assuming you have a 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz PC3-12800. Just match the PC3-XXXXXX speed.

open it up and take a look on the stick, your gonna have to open it to upgrade it anyway,

 

get the same speed, brand, and cas latency 

 

ideally get a set of two fours for an 8 gb paired set, as non paired sets, even if they are identical bar size can be weird
