There are two factors that influence air resistance with temperature.

Air density decreases with temperature so that the force needed to push the air out of the way is decreased, thereby decreasing resistance. Conversely, air viscosity increases with temperature (unlike oil for example where viscosity decreases with temperature) so that the drag increases.

Under normal conditions, the density change of air has the greatest effect and air resistance decreases at higher temperatures.
