The short and sweetis no.
The four gives more thrust not much help are you running it the only option is slightly faster while the proper depth cavitation plate should be just below waterline.

If it is not running good then changing the plugs and/ or a tune up might be in order, but if it is running good, then there is no use changing any props there is nothing to do to a 2 hp unless you buy a 5 hp…that will improve it
It’s a two horse, you have what you have.
