Should I expect to see any performance increase if I upgrade from 2gigs to 3 gigs of RAM? My operating systems is XP 32

I'm already getting good frame rates but I just need to know if it's worth it...

The difference is probably marginal. 1 gigabyte of memory is only worth like $20, so it might be worth it... you decide.

Anytime you can load more into memory, and reduce the amount of times the sim (or any other game) needs to access a hard drive, there will be an improvement. Will you see better frame rates? Probably not. But your system may run a bit smoother. And like the man said, if it's cheap enough, I'd go for it.
