Answer: Not an externality

Explanation: Externality refers to a situation when a decision made by one party affects the other unrelated party. That affect could be positive or adverse.

The given statement shows law of demand and not externality as the price is changed for the pies and not of any other unrelated product, thus, the demand of pie would obviously get affected.
