If the companies are interested in protecting their margins, I think we will see prices higher than the % increase in tariffs e.g. many grocery stores have a 1 - 4% profit margin, so a 25% increase would mean they have to increase more than 25% because the overall profit margin will decrease. $1 with a 4% profit margin means it make 4 cents, but $1.25 with a 4% profit margin is 5 cents. So that means they'd have to raise it like 27%.
