Vivek, Instead of trying that, just create a new TEMP tablespace with all the space that you need. Then simply drop the old TEMP tablespace. You may need to wait a little while for all current sessions to release any temp segments in the old temp tablespace. But I've done this many times in the past and it works fine.
