Citation needed. I can find plenty of studies that show it doesn’t. [0] Raising wages at the bottom doesn’t increase prices across the board, and so this benefits folks at the lower end more than it hurts.

From the Congressional Budget Office:

https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2021-02/56975-Minimum-Wage....

The second point, in the first paragraph:

> Higher prices for goods and services—stemming from the higher wages of workers paid at or near the minimum wage, such as those providing long-term health care—would contribute to increases in federal spending.

The whole thing is an interesting read, actually
