You can check the products table in phpMyAdmin to see what the master_categories_id is or ... in the Zen Cart Admin go to the Categories/Products ... if all the Category is not marked with a yellow icon, that means there are not any Linked Products ... if the Category is marked with a yellow icon that means there are Linked Products ...

If you use Linked Products, check to see if those Products are all using the same master_categories_id ... you can see this by editing the Product ...

If all Products use the same master_categories_id, then you can use that to control which Category gets the prices updated ...

For example, if categories_id 10 is the master_categories_id you can update the products_price to $5.00 more with:

UPDATE products SET products_price = products_price + 5.00 WHERE master_categories_id = 10;

and that can be run in the Tools ... Install SQL Patches ...

The, go to the Tools ... Store Manager ... and run the Update Products Price Sorter ...

Change the setting for:
products_price = products_price + 5.00

to what you want to use ...

If you want to do ALL Products, then remove the WHERE condition:
WHERE master_categories_id = 10
