Yes, it will likely raise prices.

My point/question is whether this will reduce air travel and increase demand for rail.

Doubtful. People will either just eat the higher costs or simply drive. The infrastructure is lacking (relative to airports), and there's unlikely to be any support for expanding it anytime soon - passing costs on to consumers is the current US culture.
