I often use 漲价!

But I think the first and third one is really common.

For example, if you say "the price of the food is increasing this year".

It's equal to "食物今年又漲价了！" and "食物今年价格上漲了"

涨价 most colloquial; often used as a descriptive word.

提价 colloquial, can be both a descriptive word and a verb.

价格上涨 formal, descriptive, used by news agencies.
