Why does increase in pH help in digestion?

By increase I believe you mean the pH gets more acidic. The stomach is full of acid that is very low on the pH scale, and the lower in the pH scale, the more acidic Hydrogen bonds become. So, basically the more acidic the pH in the stomach, the better the food can be broken down (decomposed).

If you were able to chemically analyze your stomach fluids 30 minutes after taking two anti acid tablets what would you find?

You may find that the stomach fluids have a higher pH level due to the neutralizing effect of the antacid tablets. The tablets work by reducing the acidity levels in the stomach, which can help alleviate symptoms of heartburn or indigestion. Additionally, the tablets may have dissolved and mixed with the stomach fluids, further contributing to the change in pH.
