There's a whole bunch of articles about that, some of which have indeed been posted in this thread. You could easily find as many such articles as you like by googling "does UBI cause inflation". In short, that isn't actually what ends up happening where this is implemented. In a lot of cases, prices actually drop.
The main issue is cost of housing. I haven't heard a great explanation about what to do to deal with rent increases / real estate market changes in a UBI state. I suspect the answer would ultimately be, "lots of regulation".
