It won’t be “reasonable”. Ring the airline and you’ll know their price. Redemption rate similar to what you get if you just buy a ticket with miles.
Have you tried it before? Any ballpark points/cash needed, doing it the first time

If you want to secure the upgrade now it’s basically the differential of economy vs business as per current prices.
If you try to do it a few days before the flight and business is far from full they can sometimes be generous and upgrade for just $1-2k. Some airlines have a formal bidding system for that.
