Fix for Overloaded of 15 amp Breaker?

I think I have an overloaded 15 amp breaker. The outlets work, but then they flicker on and off, as well as some lights. Can I replace the 15 amp breaker with a higher amp breaker to offset this?

Flickering is not typically overloaded. Breakers trip when overloaded. Flickering is typically a loose connection somewhere. As the conductors heat from being loaded, they expand and this movement can cause flickering.
