(The idiom "well up" is usually applied to swelling of emotion, and especially to tears being cried, at the point when they fill the eyes like water from a well.)

"Watching the movie, her tears would well up even before the saddest part."

"The judge knew that a trial could cause outrage to well up in the community."
