Unlike the 15" MacBook Pro's, the 13" models use mapped memory so the amount of RAM your system has defines how much is reserved for video RAM.

From EveryMac: "HD Graphics 4000 graphics processor. However, with 4 GB of RAM installed, the graphics processor uses 512 MB of RAM for video function. With 8 GB of RAM, 768 MB is reserved for video function and with 16 GB of RAM, 1 GB is reserved for video function."

So in your case you'll want to upgrade your RAM to the max 16 GB to gain the deeper video RAM.
