Morphology
The meaning 'to increase in size or amount' is directly derivable from combining 'scale' (to adjust dimensions/proportions) with the particle 'up' (to raise/increase); this verb+particle composition follows a common and predictable English pattern. Even though it appears in technical/business contexts, the semantic contributions of both constituents are clear, so a learner who knows the parts can infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Scale up comes from the image of making a small picture or model larger while keeping its shape. Imagine you scale something up on a photocopier or resize a map so everything grows the same way. So, scale up means 'to increase' something in size or amount while keeping it working the same way.
