Menu: Image > Print Size, then change the resolution.
As you change the resolution, size will be automatically changed.
Pixels remain the same.
> Should I change it from RGB?
No, GIMP works only with RGB model. You can only decompose it to CMYK layers, but this is not what print studios want - they want pictures saved in CMYK model.
