how much drop would there be in fps and energy in a 4 in barrel as opposed to a 2 inch barrel in .357 mag

At what distance? For what purpose? With what ammunition?

For self-defense purposes, there would be no practical difference.
I don't believe that there would be a practical difference in bullet placement or "stopping power" at 25 yards, either; but you might notice a wee, tiny bit of difference at 50 yards.
