It depends whether the temperature will be above the material's eutectic temperature, which is the point at which all cold working will be reset and the material will lose the hardness gained by cold working but will become ductile once again.
Since the question specifies a "high" temperature, I would say that cold working is not a suitable strengthening mechanism because, as said previously, if the temperature becomes too high, the cold working will be reset and the material will become less hard and more ductile.
