Increasing the pressure.
Explanation: According to Henry's law, a gas's solubility in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure above the solvent. Stirring only speeds reaching equilibrium (doesn't raise the equilibrium solubility), increasing temperature generally decreases gas solubility, and changing the solvent volume doesn't increase the solubility per unit volume.
