A previous one? You can't. AFAIK it's not saved anywhere.

 

 

You can however generate a NEW CSR for an existing key. But if your aim is to get a certificate renewal, I'd recommend generating a NEW keypair and use the CSR from that. (There's no real requirement to get a copy of a CSR. It's only of use to request a signed certificate from a CA. Once signed, you just need the cert and the private key).
