Get a small piece of cotton fabric in a contrasting color fabric. Wet fabric with rubbing alcohol and rub the paint . If the fabric picks up the wall color, it is latex paint.

You can use acetone as well, as the effect is stronger. It will begin to neutralize the plasticizers found in latex paint, but will leave alkyd paints intact. Running acetone over the surface of a latex paint will cause it to develop a tacky texture that prevents sliding your fingers over it smoothly, always use non-plasticine gloves for a touch test
