I have built a CNN on tensorflow and I run it on Rpi 4B 4GB. My question is if the validation on 4GB Rpi takes x minutes, can a 8GB RAM Rpi reduce that in y minutes (y<<x) ? Does anyone has an idea? experience on that?

Since it is unlikely that anyone will have built and run your particular implementation of a Neural Network, it seems that ideas are all we have to contribute.
My idea is simply to question what resource is constraining the performance of your application? In broad categories: processing power; i/o throughput; memory (RAM)?.
Only if your code is memory-limited, and perhaps swapping heavily, will a hardware upgrade help. AIUI there is no difference in processing power or i/o capability between members of the RPi4B product range.
