Use the Height property. For instance:

this.Height = newHeight;

You can just increase the form height value by a specified amount on the button click:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int amountToIncrease = 10;
    this.Height += amountToIncrease;
}

this.Size = new Size(175, 125);

or

this.ClientSize = new Size(175, 125);

From MSDN: The size of the client area of the form is the size of the form excluding the borders and the title bar.
