See below.

The graph of $y = tan 3 x$ $y=tan3x$ is the graph of $y = tan x$ $y=tanx$ with a horizontal compression by a factor of $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$

The period of $tan x$ $tanx$ is $π$ $pi$ , so the period of $tan 3 x$ $tan3x$ is:

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot π = \frac{π}{3}$ $1/3*pi=pi/3$

Graphs of $y = tan 3 x and y = tan x$ $y=tan3x and y=tanx$
