Put option Premium increase

Hi everyone,

When a put option’s premium keeps increasing when underlying price is also increasing,
Is there any reason this happens? or is it a sign of any things to come?

I am new to trading options, so have this doubt. If someone could please clarify or provide a source where this is explained, it would be very helpful.

I think you cleared.
