If the parameters of the medium are constant, the velocity of a sound wave within it remains constant.
v = λ f
There is no need for physics to explain what will happen to the frequency of an object if v remains constant and the wavelength decreases.
v = λ f
To keep the velocity constant, the frequency must rise. And answer is increases.
