Only molarity is defined using the volume of the solution, and volume is the one quantity in these definitions that genuinely changes with temperature.

Molarity, M=nsoluteVsolution(L)M=\dfrac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}(\text{L})}: as temperature rises, the solution expands (volume VV increases), so for the same fixed amount of solute the molarity numerically decreases — molarity is temperature-dependent.

Molality, m=nsolutemass of solvent (kg)m=\dfrac{n_{solute}}{\text{mass of solvent (kg)}}: mass does not change with temperature, so molality of a given solution stays fixed regardless of temperature.
