The relationship is direct. its found using 2 equations

pH=-log[H+] and pOH=-log[OH-] where [OH-] is the concentration of OH- ions in solution.

You also use the equation pOH=14-pH

Using those three
the final equation you can use is 14+log[OH-]=pH

As the hydroxide ion concentration increases, the pH becomes more basic-- the pH increases.
