Wage increase is suppose to increase cost of living. Is the opposite true; does an increase in cost of living also increase wages?

You can't reason from a price change.

It depends on what caused the increase in the cost living.

If it's caused by an increase in aggregate demand, then yes wages will rise.

But if its caused by a decrease in aggregate supply then wages will decrease.

The same goes for the premise of your statement btw. It depends on what caused the wage increase.
