Both increased exposure and increased development increase grain.  I 
think increased development has a much larger effect, so people 
usually decrease exposure slightly (use higher ISO) and increase 
development.  If you do both you'll get *Very* dense negatives that 
may be useless.  Of coures increased development increases contrast 
as well, which may or may not be desired.
