Welcome to the forum!

It seems that you are using a bitmap font, not a vector font. The latter would be scalable without getting pixelated.

If you use the standard font, you could fix that by simply installing the package cm-super with the underlying TeX installation.

If you do not want to change the font (e.g. defined by a template). Install cm-super as written earlier: (do not edit the tex-file)
