According to the Ping color code chart, if you are between 5ft 7 and 6ft 1 and have a wrist to floor of around 37.5 inches (and were fitted for standard length clubs) then 3 up is the result.
However, as had be said, the proof is in the hitting. Ideally, borrow a lie board. Otherwise, hit balls off of a surface that will leave a mark on the sole of club. My mat does this. If the mark is not central your lie is out. If the mark is on the heal then yes, they are too upright for you.
You can look to get them altered of course.
