I have a Monstera Deliciosa that last year was looking a lot like yours. Mine needed repotting badly. As ecrane3 said though, you don't want to go to a pot a lot larger. I think you should take it out of the pot it's in now and inspect the roots and soil. It may just be that the thing is rootbound to the point where you have more roots than soil. Also, you don't want it in direct sun. Last year when I was cleaning I had moved mine out of the way and forgot about it ... well, it got too much sun and the leaves were burnt and crispy in some places. I only water my plant every two weeks right now, but as our weather gets hotter and hotter in the summer, I will probably have to water twice a week.

Here's the link to Plant Files for the Monstera - Sometimes called Swiss Cheese Plant:
