Most likely: It may get louder over the first year of life, especially as the child moves air more vigorously. Time ( waiting for the child to grow) is the only treatment necessary in the majority of infant cases.

Different issue: Probably your baby is having a cold, which is worsening the nasal breathing, and that this is unrelated to the laryngomalacia. In many cases (not all), laryngomalacia resolves by the child's first birthday. See your ENT if you aren't sure what is going on.
