If you can transplant without much root disruption or damage, you should be ok. Personally, I wouldn't worry about roots coming out of the bottom, that's always going to happen since they tend to seek the edges of the container first and then spread. If you're rootbound, get it done sooner than later.
Unless the plant is stressed from being root bound, i personally wouldn't risk it. If you have to do it just gently slip it into a larger pot without disturbing the root ball, then keep it in the shade for several days to make recovery easier.
Thanks homie im gonna from 5 gal pots to 10 gal pots think i will shock them. Also should wut wud u recommend

Yellowing is normal at the beginning of flower as the plants are diverting energy into flower and less "solar panels" are needed.

If it's in a bag just set it in another planter with soil. Or medium you're using. A planter - do the same but break off the bottom if possible.
Cut the pot with the scissors and gently take off the cut pieces. This way you will not disturb the root ball at all. If you are growing in a fabric pot it will be much easier to cut. If you are growing in plastic pots, you can still cut it but only with heavyduty scissors or blade. Fill the new pot only upto where the bottom of the plant would sit on. After removing the entire pieces of old pot put the plant into the new pot and fill it with soil.

Well homie, sorry, but I thought taking it out of the original pot would have been assumed. I'll dumb it down next time.

never wet a plant before transplant the weight of the water can tear the root ball. always bone dry

If your plants are fed properly, they should not be yellowing when transitioning to flower. Yellowing and dropping leaves in early flower is not a good sign.Yellowing is normal at the beginning of flower as the plants are diverting energy into flower and less "solar panels" are needed.
