bump up
Raise a notch
To bump up is to increase something, usually by a modest amount: They bumped up the price by ten percent, Can you bump me up to first class?
The phrase suggests a quick, informal adjustment rather than a major overhaul.
It can also mean to move something earlier in a schedule: Let's bump up the meeting to Tuesday.
