the resistance of a capacitor (capacitive reactance ) varies inversely with frequency. so if frequency increases , resistance decreases and so the current increases. and vice versa.
Xc= 1 /2πfC
f is the frequency and C is the capacitance of the capacitor
Xc= 1 /2πfC
f is the frequency and C is the capacitance of the capacitor

Xc = capacitive or reactive impedance (resistance ) = 1/jωC = -j/ωC
| Z | = | Xc| = (ωC)⁻¹
Current i (rms) = V_rms / Z = V_rms * (ωC) = V_rms * 2πC * f
So as frequency increases, current increases. Capacitor is an open circuit for DC (0 frequency) and near short circuit for a large frequency. So its impedance reduces as frequency increases.
