My system configuration: Intel Pentiunm dual core 1.3GHz with 2GB RAM. I have installed Android Studio but it is sluggish, I'm new in android development. Is upgrading RAM to 4GB help?

According to developers.android.com, minimum requirement for android studio is: 4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended. 2 GB of available disk space minimum, 4 GB Recommended (500 MB for IDE + 1.5 GB for Android SDK and emulator system image)
It may seem unfair but Android Studio is not really suitable to run in a lower end device. It used to lag/hang in my device with Core i7 and 8GB Ram. The best thing you can do is to use an SSD instead of HDD.
I have a laptop with this configuration:
And it's very slow.
When I upgrade my system with 8GB RAM and change my HDD with SSD, my speed is much improved.
So, I recommend that, you must at least have 8GB of RAM and Core i5 or Core i7 CPU, with a SSD. Don't use HDD.

As of November 2020, the official system requirements say:
4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended
IMHO, Android Studio will use as much RAM as it can, and your RAM requirements will depend on the size of your project(s) that you are working on. For example, I recently moved from a machine with 16GB RAM to 32GB, owing to Android Studio's memory usage.
