I will make an agreement with a company and the text of the agreement includes the following sentence:

Remote Based
Fee USD $1,200 per month (pro rata) during the period of 1st May 2022 and 31st July 2022.

Does it mean "$1,200 x 3 month = $3,600" or "$400 x 3 month = $1,200"?

It's $1200 per month. The 'pro rata' means if you work less than one month, you still get compensated - so e.g. if you work only 2.5 months then you are paid $1200 x 2.5 = $3000.

Pro Rata is the lawyer’s fancy way of saying ‘proportionally’.
It means that for incomplete months the amount gets proportionally adjusted, like 1/30 for one day, 2/30 for two days, etc.
