LVM won't help you with a physical partition like that. If the disk space 
immediately following /dev/sda1 is free you can increase the size of 
/dev/sda1 (eg. using fdisk) and then use resize2fs to increase the size of 
the file system.
If the rest of the disk is LVM and you have enough spare space you can 
shrink the LVM area used using pvresize, then the partition containing it, 
use the free space to create a new LVM partition, use pvmove to move your 
logical volumes over to the new area, delete the original LVM area, and 
use the freed space to extend /dev/sda1, then perhaps reverse the process 
so that LVM uses up all the disk not otherwise allocated.

Thus it might be possible to increase the size of /dev/sda1 in some 
circumstances, but it is probably only worth attempting if you are good 
linux skills.
