If it is an iPod Touch Fifth Gen you can upgrade it, if it is older than that you can't. 2.5 Gb is probably not enough space.
You could do an iCloud backup or connect it to the computer and do a backup in iTunes. I highly recommend upgrading via iTunes, it is a much better experience and you get a lot more feedback during the upgrade. Also, don't forget that the chances the upgrade will go smoothly is a lot bigger if you first bring up the app switcher and force quit all apps. Then Sync with iTunes and backup, then I go one step further and I go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset All Network Settings. This will also reboot the phone and you will have to reconnect to your WiFi afterwards so make sure you know the password.
