Both the glomerular capillary pressure and the filtration rate increase.

in the glomerular capillaries... hydrostatic pressure is high due to the blood pressure and the difference in the diameters of the afferent and efferent arterioles... hence.. the diffusion of substances from the blood plasma into the Bowman's capsule would be more... which would increase the volume and concentration of the glomerular filtrate
