I doubt it will help much, if at all.
Take a look at Activity Monitor sometime when you're running PS they way you normally do. Look at the System Memory tab. It will show five categories of memory: Free, Wired, Active, Inactive, and Used. Free and Inactive can be added together to see how much you have available. If you have a decent amount available when you're working PS then adding more RAM won't help.
Also, look at the Page outs. If there are lots and lots of Page outs that means you have a lot of memory data being swapped out to disk (meaning you need more RAM) and disk swaps will really slow you down.
