Does the population size increase or decrease at higher trophic levels in the pyramid of numbers of an ecosystem consisting of a tree insects (that are herbivores) and birds feeding on the insects?

Population sizes decrease at higher trophic levels. If they increased the insects population would decrease meaning there would be less food available for the birds so their population size would then decrease. Look at the relationships between predator and prey species for more information

What is the relationship between the size of the predator population and the size of the prey population?

Let's put it this way. Say you have a killerwhale and a penguin. Killerwhales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killerwhale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killerwhales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killerwhales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killerwhale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.
