My roommate was exposed to Covid-19 but has been fully vaccinated. We live in a small studio without bedrooms. I am not vaccinated yet should I get a Covid test?

Why? What will you do if positive? If negative? You should be vaccinated, but your question as posed is not easily answered.

Your roommate is very unlikely to have acquired the virus. You should test if you are symptomatic. It is recommended to wait at least 5 days after an exposure. I recommend your roommate be tested using that time frame, even if he or she is fully vaccinated. No quarantine is needed. You should test if your roommate is positive.
Thanks for the question.
