looks like you have to use a height constraint if you want to do it in storyboard

If you're doing it through code, you could theoretically force the height to change by modifying its frame rectangle. I'm going to assume you've already declared a UITextField named textField:
[textField setFrame:CGRectMake(textField.frame.origin.x, textField.frame.origin.y, textField.frame.size.width, new height)];
Hope that helps! If it doesn't, post your code and someone will try and help you out further :)
