No, there was a New Jersey Plan that addressed how William Paterson believed the states would be represented in the federal legislature. The New Jersey Plan called for one house of Congress and one voting representative from each state, giving both large and small states an equal amount of power in the federal government regardless of state population.
The New Jersey was written in response to the Virginia Plan, which favored large states by creating two houses of the legislature (originally called the Upper House and Lower House) because the representatives for both parts of Congress would be apportioned based on population, as determined by a ten-year census.
The Connecticut Compromise was a hybrid of the two plans that provided for two houses of Congress, the Upper House (which became the Senate) would consist of two representatives from each state, regardless of state population. The Lower House (which became the House of Representatives), would apportion seats according to population.
The combination of the two plans provided more balanced power, addressing the interests of both the states' and their citizens.

What did the New Jersey compromise do?
There was no "New Jersey Compromise." It was named for Connecticut. The New Jersey Plan was an alternative representation plan for Congress as it was debated at the Constitutional Convention. Rather than a legislature based on population (the Virginia Plan), it proposed a unicameral legislature with each state being equal with a single representative. Under the "Great Compromise" or Connecticut Compromise, the New Jersey plan became the model for the Senate, and the Virginia Plan for the House of Representatives.
