There is no difference. The "up" is just added for emphasis. This isn't really a phrasal verb. A lot of verbs add "up" to emphasize the action.

"up" in phrasal verbs often implies "to completion"
so "crumple up" would be "to crumple something as much as possible"

It's not necessarily for emphasis, it implies more completion

@Gejemica Okay, I got you, It's like fold and fold up, when you fold up a piece of paper you fold it many times into a very small piece, so you completely folded it, am I correct?
