By dissolving more solute?

Explanation:

$Concentration$ $"Concentration"$ $=$ $=$ $\frac{Moles of solute}{Volume of solution}$ $"Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"$ , and thus it typically has the units $m o l \cdot L^{- 1}$ $mol*L^-1$ . If we want to increase the concentration, we can either (i) reduce the volume of the solution by evaporating or stripping off the solvent (and this is rather hard for aqueous solutions); or (ii) add more solute to the solution to raise its concentration.

I leave it to you as to which is the appropriate means.
