If I want to increase the concentration of a beaker of hydrochlric acid is it safe to heat it, or warm it? Would it be safer if I keep stirring it? What else can I do to increase its concentration?

Wo! Really bad, bad idea!!!
Do not heat hydrochloric acid. It could 'bump' - that means, suddenly splurt out concentrated acid.... if it got in your eye you would be blind for life.
It is a really bad idea to fool around with chemistry. There are all kinds of ways to do yourself a really serious injury, poison yourself by chemicals absorbed through your skin or cause damage to your home....
Don't play chemistry games. Take a course on chemistry in school and follow all the safety rules or you are going to be one sorry puppy!

Let it evaporate in the sun, far away from you. LOL
Or maybe freeze it for a while and see if you can pour off some excess water when it starts to turn solid..

Chlorine gas is a toxic gas. Just don't turn your safe home into a Chemistry Lab.
