Increased blood osmolarity will lead to an increase in blood volume, period. If you add fluid to a closed system, the pressure of that fluid on its container will increase. However, in most cases, excess solutes should be excreted relatively quickly and blood volume will return to normal.

If people have high blood pressure, if the gave a couple of pints of blood each month, would that do anything to lower the pressure?
