Increasing the temperature.
Higher temperature increases the kinetic energy of solvent and solute particles, so solvent molecules collide with the solute more often and with greater energy, speeding up dissolution. (Decreasing surface area slows dissolution; decreasing solute amount or increasing solvent can affect saturation but are not the primary way to increase the dissolution rate in general.)
