"compound on" is not a correct or commonly used phrase in written English.
It is possible that you are thinking of the phrase "compound noun," which refers to a noun made up of two or more words (e.g. "firefighter" is a compound noun made up of "fire" and "fighter"). If you are asking about using "compound on" in a sentence, it would be incorrect and should be avoided. A better way to express a similar idea would be to use the word "build" or "compound," in a sentence such as "The tension between the two groups only continued to compound over time."
