You can get a test kit from the local paint store, costs a few bucks, and saves making a mistake! Good luck

Most everyone uses latex now as it is so much easier to use and clean up with water, so it is more likely that type. I found this dialog on the web with a discussion on how to tell the difference...it isn't visual as you may suspect.
If you have some spare latex paint around the house, you can paint a little bit on and wait for it to dry. When it's dry, if you scrape your fingernail on it and it comes off easily, the original paint is oil-based.
