if i want to increase a frequency do i increase, or decrease a resistor?

Your question leaves several things unsaid. I assume that you are talking about an oscillator circuit in which a resistor-capacitor time constant determines the frequency. If that is the case, then decreasing the resistor will decrease the time constant and increase the frequency.

Read your text book it was vo-tech in high school the last time I dealt with theory of electricity stuff but if I remember correctly you will decrease the the resistor to raise amps and in turn up the frequency if you don't look it up and blow some thing up its your own fault although you should be running some type of circuit protection, circuit breaker what not.

What resistor ?? It could go either way depending on your circuit.

You need to tell us A LOT more about the system. Are we talking about a filter? RC or RL? Low-pass, or high pass? Or are we talking about a 555 timer? Or are we talking about one of 1000 other things it could be?
