"Increase" is something that "goes up." "Rise" is essentially the same. Something that "soars" goes up very high, usually quickly.

Soar also means something which remains in flight for a long time, without telling us how it got there. Hawks and sailplanes are said to soar, even though they may take quite a while to reach soaring altitude.

If the context is prices, then "increase" and "rise" are about the same in meaning ("go up"), while "soar" means "go up by a very large amount".
