How would the market price of a bond be influenced

All other things held constant, how would the market price of a bond be influenced if coupon interest payments were made semiannually rather than annually?
Most of bonds issued in the United States pay interest semiannually (twice per year). Along with semiannual interest payments, we have to adjust the bond valuation model by multiplying n, the number of years to maturity, by two, and dividing k, the annual interest rate, by two.
