Would a bad water pump cause it to Rev high?

What is your question?

The water pump had been dripping and yesterday it became a consistent leak I'd say I carry water with me and do check the water and add to it accordingly so going to work this morning went about a mile and a half noticed a hot smell coming through the vents not electrical but hot the temperature gauge was indicating it wasn't over heating then the rpms ran a little and shifted fast just wasn't running like she had been I pulled over turned it off waited a few started it again it didn't want to crank kind of lagged a bit then when it did turn over it revved up to three grand so I just turned it off and here I am now any insight would be a tremendous help
