The answer

It is permissible to increase the price of an item when selling it in installments. There is no objection to the first sale transaction in which the price was increased in exchange for installments. As for the second sale transaction, the indications suggest that it was conducted at the same price as the first transaction. It is not permissible to increase its price after that due to the buyer's delay in payment, as this falls under the category of prohibited usury (riba).
