You could pull it out of the pot and look at the roots! If the roots are all around the inside of the pot, it could probably be repotted. Just be aware that peace lilys are very dramatic when it comes to repotting so don’t mess with the roots at all. Plop it in a 1-2 inch larger pot and fill in the gaps with soil.

Well originally it was extremely root bound so I decided to untangle the roots because it was not growing but it has grown so much that the leaves are so packed together

It is hard to tell from a picture of the plant itself. We would have to see the roots or the bottom of the pot to see if roots are coming out of the drainage holes. Another way to tell is whether the plants drys out quicker.
