Actually I would have expected you to know. The captain will have broadcast the initial planned altitude. You should be aware that the aircraft will be climbed to a higher level as fuel is burnt and suficiently familiar with the route to know which segment you are in.
Then you can always fall back on the old saw:
If the pax does not know how can he tell if you flannel him?
