FSI means Floor Space Index, which is the ratio between the built up area allowed and plot area available. Like if FSI is 1 then on a plot of 100 sqmts, one can build 100 sqmts of built up area and with the setbacks and openspaces, the building can be higher than one floor.  Simply it means that higher the FSI, higher built up area is possible...or more simply one can say higher floors to go with....

FSI AND FAR BOTH ARE DIFFERENT WITH EACH OTHER, FSI (FLOOR SPACE INDEX)  IT MEANS LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE AREA OF THE LAND/ PLOT FOR CONSTRUCTION AS PER THE COMPETENT AUTHORITY NORMS. AND THE FAR(FLOOR SPACE INDEX) IT MEANS PERMISSIBLE AREA / FLOOR OF BUILDING FOR CONSTRUCTION.
