We are going to Copenhagen for 4 days on September before we go to Ireland. It’s our first time in Copenhagen. Should we spend a day doing a day trip
Or just spend the 4 days in Copenhagen. What do people think?

You don't really need to decide in advance. There are some great day trips, but you might find yourself enjoying Copenhagen enough that you don't want to go anywhere else. So if I were you I would play it by ear. There's nothing that requires an advance reservation. Roskilde is an excellent option, but you can wake up one morning and just decide to jump on a train and go.

Check out the guidebooks and see what interests you - can easily spend all four days in Copenhagen but I enjoyed getting out of the city too.
These are easy train rides from Copenhagen:
Roskilde: Cathedral and Viking Ship Museum (which I found fascinating, but I’m into boats)
Castles (north of Copenhagen): Frederiksborg Castle (in Hillerød) and Kronborg (in Helsingør) are linked by a direct train and each is connected to Copenhagen as well, making a good triangular route.

You can easily spend four days in Copenhagen without feeling bored, but a day trip somewhere is not a bad idea either. It all depends a bit on what you feel like, are interested in and want to see and do.
There are also many options for daytrips to Sweden from Copenhagen. Lund or Ystad e.g. are good options.
