honestly i'd say leave it alone and ride it or get a 36 ring for 20$ to have options and a bit better shifting and keep the 34 if you go on a trip to a hillier area.
Depends on tire size.

A 46x11 on a 700x35C CX tire is about equivalent to a 52x12 700x23C. A 50x11 700x35C is about equivalent to a 52x11 700x23C.
