If you mean longer chain, you should determine the length by dressing the chain over the large-large and determine the shortest length that the chain can be re-attached. Then add approx 1". Do this without running the chain through the derailer.
It is impossible to tell if you will need a longer chain than you have without doing the sizing as stated because you did not provide enough information.
