I have a 15 amp circuit breaker tied to some outlets and when my sprinkler system was installed they tied into this line. Sometime when using more than 1 thing and running the sprinkler it trips. Can I increase this to a higher amperage safely?

Only if the entire circuit is wired with #12 wire. May be easy to add a new circuit just for the sprinkler system, or some other large existing load.
