Morphology
The meaning 'an occasion when the cost becomes higher' is directly derivable from combining 'price' (cost) with 'increase' (a rise or growth), so the phrase compositionally denotes a rise in price. This simple noun + noun configuration is a common and cross-linguistically transparent pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Price increase comes from a simple shop image: the price on a shop board is changed so it increases and moves up. So, price increase means 'the cost becomes higher'.
