You can't increase the space because they are mounted, in use. To increase that space you must boot into a live GParted session from a bootable USB or disk. I hope that helped.

Your home partition sda5 is part of the extended partition sda3. You can only increase your root partition sda5 by 3.86 GiB.

The only way I see is to move your sda5 out of the extended partition sda3.

I would recommend to back up your disk first before doing anything.
