Assuming you gear them both for the same top speed (and thus use the same throttle input), you should gain 25% runtime. So if you get 15mins on 4s 5000, you'd get almost 19mins on 5s 5000mah.

But if you keep the same gearing, you might end up with the same or slightly less runtime (depending on if you changed your throttle control or not with the higher top speed).
