Your angle does not change, the INDICATION on your altimeter does due temperature.
A calculated measured angle will still be flown as 3 by the aircraft.
However, be careful as all altitude readings on your altimeter which keep you safe below MSA are affected, not just those inside the FAF.
As the previous poster beat me to it, platform could be corrected to ensure correct descent point on altimeter
