Default When is a Beam Too Long?

Engineers and/or Construction
Can anyone tell me what is too long for a beam across two room. The
beam is approximately 1 foot 3 inch wide and spans between the kitchen
and the nook area. Remodeling was completed a few years ago. I have
had several different responses concerning this issue and wanted to
know if it would be advisable to have a 4x4 post installed.
Thanks
