A synonym would be "raise the stakes." It is a metaphor from gambling, when the amount you are betting goes higher.
For example, it can also be used casually to describe a situation where you want to have a bigger risk of failure, to help you try to succeed.
"I bet you $100 that I can lose 10kg by the New Year."
"I don't think you can do it."
"OK then, let's up the ante. If I do it on time, then you'll owe me $200!"
