There are no guarantees but since it sounds like you want another 4GB module for 8GB total (used in Dual Channel as directed by the motherboard manual) your best bet if you can't find an IDENTICAL stick is to get one with the same frequency and CAS rating.

Thus get another 4GB module with 1600MHz CAS9. You can use PCpartpicker to help you.

After installing make sure to run MEMTEST www.memtest.org

There is no exact process. Even memory sticks that are identical on paper might not function well together. Mixing memory can cause BSODs and general system instability. Believe me, I've tried it. The best way to go about increasing memory is by buying the next size in a pack (e.g. Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB or 2x8GB). That's the best way to have memory compatibility.
