$No. of collisions per unit area \propto \frac{1}{time between two collisions \times area}$

$\frac{n}{A} \propto \frac{V_{rms}}{distance b/w walls \times A}$ $V_{rms} \propto \sqrt{T}$ $Distance b/w walls \times A = volume$

$So \frac{n}{A} \propto \frac{T^{1 / 2}}{V}$

$If both T and V are halved, \frac{n}{A} increases.$
