On domestic fares, a stopover would create a fare break and add an additional fare component which will increase the total price in the majority of cases (in some cases, a connecting itin can be less when priced on separate fares instead of a single one, but it's fairly rare). On international itins, the cheaper fares either don't allow stopovers, or there is stopover surcharge in the fare if they are allowed.
