Detailed Solution

Increase in capillary pressure increases the GFR.

Net filtration pressure (NFP) = Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (GHP) - Blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP) - Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP)

So, for GFR to increase, GHP high. BCOP and CHP should be less.

Diameter of the afferent arteriole should be more compared to efferent arteriole for the filtration to take place.
