while rendering Animation
Not surprised by that. Rendering is one of the most taxing thing you can do with—or to—a computer. 13-inch MacBook Pros have only one cooling fan and that does not help the situation. Neither does its integrated graphics.
The article dominic23 links tells how to avoid blocking critical cooing paths on and in the computer. The critical area is the hinge; in many 13-inch models it serves as both the intake and exhaust path. Any obstructions near it will spike temps fast.
If you are running any anti-virus or so-called "cleaning" apps, you have a self-inflicted wound on your foot. Those commonly add a heavy workload to the processor. Turn off any "phone-home" apps like online backup schemes.
Some web sites can use too many resources if left on in the background and will run up temps and run down batteries. so close browsers. I can produce that effect on demand if I leave the Amazon home page open in a background tab in Safari. It uses more energy than 11 other tabs that are not Amazon pages.
Chrome is a resource hog on Windows and Macs both. I would not leave it running even in the background when rendering.
You are pulling a big wagon with a small horse so you need to help the little fellow as much as you can by eliminating unneeded processes.
