Relative humidity is a measure of how much moisture is in the air relative to how much the air can hold. All the matters in the case of the latter is the air temperature. So if you cool the air temperature, the air can hold less moisture. Therefore, the air now has a larger percentage of moisture relative to what it can hold.
