"To go up a notch" means to increase by very little.
So your anxiety increased a little bit when you heard his answer because it wasn't to your satisfaction.

go up a notch = go up a little - songleishiyulin, Apr 19, 2012
Buena respuesta BradyLabuda, but I agree with songleishiyu, "go up a little" I wouldn't say "very little" a notch is a noticeable amount. ;-) - DJ_Huero, Apr 19, 2012
Dang, I just have to throw my 2 cents, lol. Hope you don't mind. I agree with you answer, but I would probably say "increase in degree" or "increase in intensity". Overall, same thing :o) - Goldie_Miel, Apr 19, 2012

Go up a notch se traduce como incrementar o aumentar. Yo traduciría tu frase del siguiente modo: "Mi ansiedad se incrementó un poco a pesar de su respuesta tan fácil/sencilla/ligera/llana"
