if i take a fluid in a container open to the atmosphere and raise its height what happens to the hydrostatic pressure? I thought it would decrease because pressure decreases with altitude but the answer says that it would increase.
I just assumed it would be the opposite of measuring the pressure under water which causes pressure to increase

Perhaps you are accelerating it upward?
no the explaination had something to do with gravitational potential energy, which seems to contradict the pressure at altitude arguement
