Tail Spin is a Goblin feat:
Attempt a single Athletics check to Trip up to two adjacent creatures.
Trip has the Attack trait, so it increases the MAP. However, it says you make a single check, does it mean you only increase your MAP by one level?

It increases it once.
Multi-attack abilities tend to specify.
Tail Spin is a two-action ability that allows you to make a single check, with an attack trait, that affects two enemies. Many abilities that allow you to target multiple creatures (or one creature multiple times) include a rider along the lines of "this increases your MAP X times, but not until you're done with this ability," such as Slashing Gust, Double Slice, Drifter's Wake, or Whirlwind Strike, quoting the last:
These abilities let you make multiple attacks and increase your MAP accordingly (albeit typically after the ability has concluded).
Tail Spin is one attack.
The main distinction between Tail Spin and those abilities is how many checks you're making: in all of those abilities, you are explicitly making 2+ attacks with separate rolls. With Tail Spin, you're making one attack that targets multiple creatures:
For a counter-example, take Piston Punch:
Like Tail Spin, Piston Punch is explicitly a single attack roll applied to two targets. Unlike Tail Spin, Piston Punch says it's explicitly counted as two attacks for MAP. While the result of Tail Spin's check is applied to multiple targets, you are ultimately making one "check with the attack trait," so it only increases MAP once.
