I have a list "{{x1,y1},{x2,y2},{x3,y3},{x4,y4},{x5,y5},....,{xn,yn}}" and now want to modify it as below

"{{x1,y1},{(3x1+x2)/4,(3y1+y2)/4},{(x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2},{(x1+3x2)/4,(y1+3y2)/4},{x2,y2},.....,{xn,yn}".

For example: {{1,2},{3,4},{5,6}}. I want this list to be modified as {{1,2},{1.5,2.5},{2,3},{2.5,3.5},{3,4},{3.5,4.5},{4,5},{4.5,5.5},{5,6}}.

Adding two more data points in between parent data points by averaging them. It helps to get more data points on the list. Please help.

Try TimeSeriesResample:

data = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}}
withIndices = Transpose[{Range[Length[data]], data}];
TimeSeriesResample[withIndices, 1/4, 
  ResamplingMethod -> {"Interpolation", 
    InterpolationOrder -> 1}][[All, 2]]

(* {{1, 2}, {3/2, 5/2}, {2, 3}, {5/2, 7/2}, {3, 4}, {7/2, 9/2},
    {4, 5}, {9/2, 11/2}, {5, 6}} *)

Using Interpolation:

data = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}};
J = Interpolation[data, InterpolationOrder -> 1];

Table[{x, J[x]}, {x, 1, 5, 1/2}] // N
(*    {{1., 2.}, {1.5, 2.5}, {2., 3.}, {2.5, 3.5}, {3., 4.},
       {3.5, 4.5}, {4., 5.}, {4.5, 5.5}, {5., 6.}}              *)

By changing the InterpolationOrder option you can play with the way the interpolation is done.

Using Subdivide

DeleteDuplicates@Flatten[Subdivide[##, 4] & @@@ Partition[list, 2, 1], 1]

(* {{1, 2}, {3/2, 5/2}, {2, 3}, {5/2, 7/2}, {3, 4}, {7/2, 9/2}, {4, 5}, 
  {9/2, 11/2}, {5, 6}} *)

% /. r_Rational :> N[r]

(* {{1, 2}, {1.5, 2.5}, {2, 3}, {2.5, 3.5}, {3, 4}, {3.5, 4.5}, {4, 5}, 
  {4.5, 5.5}, {5, 6}} *)

A variation on BobHanlon's idea: using Subdivide with BlockMap:

ClearAll[f]

f = Prepend[First @ #] @ BlockMap[Apply[##2 & @@ Subdivide[##, 4] &], #, 2, 1] &

f @ data
{{1, 2}, {3/2, 5/2}, {2, 3}, {5/2, 7/2}, {3, 4}, {7/2, 9/2}, 
 {4, 5}, {9/2, 11/2}, {5, 6}}

Alternatively, Subdivide + MapThread:

ClearAll[f2]

f2 = Prepend[First@ #] @ MapThread[##2 & @@ Subdivide[##, 4] &, {Most @ #, Rest @ #}] &

f2 @ data
{{1, 2}, {3/2, 5/2}, {2, 3}, {5/2, 7/2}, {3, 4}, {7/2, 9/2}, 
 {4, 5}, {9/2, 11/2}, {5, 6}}
