涨价 (zhǎng jià) is a separable verb meaning 'to increase in price' — it can be split (e.g., 涨了价). It's the everyday word for prices going up, while 上涨 (shàng zhǎng) is more formal and used for rising levels (prices, water, etc.). 升值 (shēng zhí) specifically means 'to appreciate in value' (currency, assets).
