When you upgrade to Jessie, it will install new kernel automatically.
However, it should not remove your Wheezy kernel, because upgrading
kernels always leaves one old one there, in case that you can not boot
into your new kernel for some reason. You can then mark that kernel via
grub options as one you would like to boot in. You can do it during boot
in grub, or by setting it as default in /etc/default/grub. You will also
have to use apt-mark to put that kernel on hold, to prevent removing it
on future updates, or to do some apt pinning. But, since Wheezy will be
out of support soon, doubt that you will be able to expect security
updates for that kernel. It would be wise to check if newer kernel works
for you, and if it does to move to it completely and forget about Wheezy
kernel.
