The phrase 'like up' doesn't mean anything because it is incorrect.
His father expects a lot from him. Because he wants to be as good as his father expects him to be, that puts a lot of stress on him. Because of that he finds making decisions about things that are really important very hard to make.

'raise up' and 'live up' are both standard phrases, but the other two are incorrect.

decisions put a lot of stress on him / make him feel stressed / give him a lot of stress.
