The phrase "hang in there" in this case is used to encourage someone to keep going and not give up, even though it may be difficult. It is another way to say "you can do it" or "keep going". Ex: You're so close to winning the race, hang in there! Ex: Hang in there, there's only a few more weeks until school is over.
