When you talk of most of the theories in economics you have to remember that there is something called ceteris paribus - which means all things remaining constant. It is applicable here too. Assuming there are in a theatre with 100 seats if there are 100 packs of popcorn and 100 packs of chips i.e supply is constant. If price of one increases, its demand increases and demand for a substitute increases. When you look at law of supply you have to assume that demand is constant i.e in a theatre with 100 seats there is a demand for 100 popcorn and 100 chips. If chips are priced cheaper, the supplier reduces supply of chips. Look at definitions of demand and supply and you will realize that they say everything else remaining constant if price rises there is a change in quantity demanded or supplied.
