Let $\theta$ be the acute angle between the rope and the pipe, and $T$ be the tension in each rope.

Summing vertical forces, you get:
$2T\sin\theta=mg$
Hence, $T$ is inversely proportional to $\sin\theta$ . As you reduce the length of the rope, the $\theta$ reduces, and hence $\sin\theta$ reduces. Thus, $T$ increases.

In the future could you please post this in the Physics disc or Engineering disc. That way it's much easier to find for future students.
