It can depend on where you are playing, but you run the risk of getting called for a string bet. The way you worded it definitely makes it sound that way because of the "and" combining two actions. If it is a friendly game you are unlikely to face issue, but in a contentious game with unknown enemies, this quote would get you called for a string bet in some of the casinos I've played.
Even most friendly games I play, where the rules are VERY relaxed, do not allow "I see your X and raise you Y" string bets. This pattern is pretty firmly a relic of the past (if it ever existed outside of Hollywood).
I suppose it depends on the house, and floor, but I think it might be fine as you're not explicitly saying "call". I always just say "raise" and put in the chips (all at once!), or say "I raise to XXX" with XXX being the total amount (call+raise), after which I can take my time counting out the chips (or put more than the total raise amount if I don't have exact change).
Saying call and then adding a raise is similar to string betting, where you first put some chips to gauge your opponents reaction, and then put in some more. That's not allowed but so many beginners do it.

Some places may let you do it once, but by rule its not allowed in Casinos.
