Hi I have a fan problem with my 2015 macbook pro running Catalina

Hi all,


I have a macbook pro 15 inch 2015 running with macOS Catalina. The fan seems to be turning on more often than before and even when not doing anything CPU intensive. It seems to happen when I am accessing some interactive learning websites like wordwall for example. Other times it happens out of the blue. Will this problem be solved if I update my mac os to Big Sur? Any other solutions? TIA
