Macedonian translation:го зголеми влогот или...
Explanation:
Синоними за to up = to raise; lift; advance to a higher level; increase; promote

Аnte освен влог (најчесто почетен влог во покер), може да биде и cost, price (these improvements would raise the ante); risk, stakes (the new law ups the ante on tax cheats) или a level (as of achievement or intensity) regarded especially as a goal or standard (the film ups the ante on special effects) - Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Идиоматското значење е "to make something more desirable; to increase the stakes, or to generally increase something" (The school system cannot raise teachers salaries, so they are providing better benefits as an effort to up the ante)

Потребен ми е малку поширок контекст, па затоа наместо едно ќе предложам неколку решенија:

- го зголеми влогот; го зголеми ризикот

- го подигна/подобри нивото/стандардот

- ги покачи цените (доколку се работи за текст со социјалистички елементи, па државата одлучила да интервенира во цените, додека во пазарно стопанство реченицата би била бесмислена)

Се надевам помогнав...
