When a firm experiences higher demand for its goods, the typical response is to raise prices. This approach is common in market economies, as higher prices can help balance supply and demand by reducing the quantity demanded while incentivizing the firm to increase production or allocate resources more efficiently. Additionally, raising prices can signal to competitors that there is an opportunity to enter the market.

Thus, of the options provided, "It raises prices" is the most common response.
