You got it right that time, it is "go up." Only use "goes up" if you're dealing with the object or issue directly ("The price of gas goes up 10 cents every month here.")
Also, when referring to people, only use "goes up" if referring to one person or group. ("Denise goes up to the cottage every weekend." "The school band goes up north for the annual Christmas concert.") You can only use "go up" here if you're referring to more than one person.

As you have it you are right. But if you put the word IF into the sentence it is-- It is not in the worlds interest if the price of a barrel of oil goes up.

In your sentence it is go up. If you are talking in first person it would be. "Everytime I turn around the price of gas goes up."

"go up" (or you could use "rise" instead of "go up")
