    Please use more words to ask a question, and explain why your asking the question.

    Short answer is, if I understand your question correctly, you cannot change a 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker unless you confirm all wiring for that circuit is a minimum of #12 copper wire ,or #10 aluminum wire.
