An increase in air pressure will cause the mercury in a barometer to?

What measures a barometer with Mercury?
Maybe you mean what does a mercury barometer measure. In which case the answer is atmospheric pressure.
What are the uses of mercury barometers?
Mercury barometer is used for measuring atmospheric pressure.Because atmospheric pressure changes with distance above or below sea level, a barometer can also be used to measure altitude.Read more: Uses_of_mercury_barometer
How can an aneroid barometer give reading in inches of mercury when it doesn't use any mercury?
Good question.Look at it like this if you had two barometers side by side, one a mercury barometer and the other a barometer that reacted to changes in air pressure using some bellows and a spring.Then, as the pressure changed you marked the second barometer positions and noted on the dial the inches reading from the mercury barometer, the second barometer measurement scale would mimic the real mercury barometer even though it did not actually use any mercury.

To measure the local pressure of the Earth's atmosphere, Torricelli invented the first Mercury Barometer.
