"I'm going to look it up" - a quick Google search, for basic information like a definition
"I'm going to look into it" - take the responsibility to almost 'study' something, do more extensive research and collect information to get a clearer idea or come to a conclusion of your own

@soph_321x can we say that "look into" includes "look up"?

@cey7 Obviously it depends on the context, but yes, probably!
"Looking into something" implies that you don't have much information yet, but you intend to look at a few different sources to help you make a decision. It will be a longer process than simply "looking something up".
