any kind of activity can raise your pulse or your heart rate; for example - having sex, running, walking, working out, even just sitting up from laying down will raise your pulse for a second or two

Blood pressure is caused by the heart pumping blood through the arteries. The top number is called the systolic number, and is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is actively pumping blood. The bottom number, called the diastolic number, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest.

Increased heart rate causes systolic pressure to increase or decrease mean arterial pressure?

Mean arterial pressure can be thought of as 1/3 systolic + 2/3 diastolic since the heart spends slightly more time is diastole (rest) that it does in systole (contracting). MAP = 1/3 systolic + 2/3 diastolic. Therefore, an increase in either systolic or diastolic will increase the MAP. Additionally, under physiological conditions, an increase in heart rate will increase blood pressure. Increased HR leads to increased cardiac output, among other things, which increase blood pressure.
