Let $D$ be a UFD such that every prime ideal is contained in a principal proper ideal. Is then $D$ a PID ?

I can only prove that if every proper ideal of a UFD is contained in a principal proper ideal then it is a PID. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Now I reflect on it , it seems trivial by the result I already know ... every proper ideal is contained in a prime ideal and by assumption it is contained in a principal proper ideal ... so done – Aug 21 '16 at 07:02
