It depends; there's something called 'balance to available credit', its one of the factors taken into account when calculating your credit rating. If you don't use most of that 4000, it increases your Balance:available credit, thus increasing your credit rating by a few points.

You have 2 credit cards that are almost maxed out Will your credit score raise if you pay half of the balance of each of them or should you pay one completely off and still have the balance on the oth?
Your score is like a report card, it takes time. Payment updates, opening a new account or closing an account could cause your score to fluctuate. If you plan on keeping the card after paying it off, this could help increase your score because it will show that you have an available line of credit. Having bank card accounts with a valid credit limit can have a positive impact on your credit score.
Will credit card increase my score?
That depends on the consumer using the credit card. Paying on time and keeping low balances will keep your good credit standing ...good. Not paying on time and having the balance close to the credit limit will decrease your credit score dramatically Having a lot of credit cards is not good either because the risk of possibly being in debt is high. Also if you apply for a new credit card it will reduce your credit score because it's consider a new loan with no credit history, as the credit card gets older and more established the score will go back up.

What are some easy credit solutions for a better cibil score?
improvising CIBIL score is a slow and steady process but not a difficult process. Its a easy task and you need to know where are you lacking to cover up. Generally your score is lowered due to bad repayment history in the past which you are unaware off half of the times and to improvise it you need to have some new trade lines. To get new accounts you need to have a better score and without that you wont get a credit card or a loan. I would advise you to go for secured cards which will help you to improvise the score in a faster way or go for a gold loan.
I just got a new credit card. I dont have any credit cards other then this one. If I cancel this credit card that is new with zero balance will it affect my credit score?
Everything you do related to credit cards will affect your credit. My advice would be to leave the credit card account open and here's why; While just cancelling your credit card (with no balance) shouldn't hurt your credit, here are a couple things to think about; 1) your credit history makes up 15% of your credit score. No history means no points. 2) your payment history is makes up 35% of your credit score. I know you said you don't have a balance, but an occasional purchase and on-time payment will help your credit. The only thing that could hurt you if have too much available credit. If the card has a $50,000 limit, this could work against your. But I doubt it, seeing this is your first card.
Does lowering your credit limit on a card hurt your credit score?
Lowering a credit card's limit may cause a credit score to go up, down, or remain the same. Factors that impact a credit score can include: the amount a credit limit is reduced, on-time payments, new accounts being opened and if balances are paid down or increased.
Are there any credit cards that won't negatively affect my credit score?
Your best bet would be to close those older credit cards. While it may take some time, your credit score can be improved. However, opening a new credit card, even if it doesn't affect your credit score may not be the best way to go. I am unsure if there is a credit card that wouldn't affect your credit score.
What does transferring credit card balance to new card do to credit?
Generally, after two (2) months, the balance transfer from one card to another only minorly impacts one's credit. The key is the additional or new account and the utilization of the line on the account. If you transfer a balance to a NEW account as part of the application/onboarding process, your credit score will be reduced. If you transfer a balance to an EXISTING account that you don't use regularly, your credit score will be reduced. If you transfer a balance to an EXISTING account that you use on a regular basis, your credit score will either remain the same or be reduced.
