What to upgrade to
Go to 4.
4 is the newest supported jQuery cycle.
Before you upgrade
Load jQuery Migrate during the upgrade: it logs every removed API your code and plugins still call. WordPress ships its own copy; update WordPress rather than swapping it. Read the jQuery 4 upgrade guide

Know before support ends.
