Go to Menu>System Tools>System Profiler and Benchmark. After you open it select Operating System and it will tell you. 
Mint Cinnamon 20.1

It says i686, so you have the 32 bit version.

Done some diggin and found this
Intel released the Intel 386 (i386) in 1980. That was then followed by he 486 (i486), the Pentium (i586), and the Pentium 3/4 (i686) and AMD's Athlon/Duron/T-bird (also i686).
Since all these processors were based on the same architecture (basically they read/wrote 1's and 0's in the same way), and their names all contained "86", the whole family was collectively called "X86". All the X86 processors were 32-bit.
