What wallet are you using? Some of them do allow to double spend your own transaction using a higher fee.

Although the fee is roughly 0.0002 BTC/KByte (corresonds to 20 Satoshis/Byte), at the moment there is a congestion of transactions happening in the network, with roughly 30,000 unconfirmed transactions:

Therefore the required fee has increased dramatically for high priority transactions:

So it looks like your transaction fee should have been three times as high to be regarded with high priority.

But just wait some more time, the transaction should be confirmed soon.
