Ideally you would have imported an External ID with your contacts on the first import then used that External ID to do the match for subsequent imports.
If you haven't done that you can now export your contacts with the Internal ID - do a vlookup to add the Id to your next csv and import.
Or just set the Matching Rules to whatever combination of First + Last + Email is likely to be unique.
