You need to create an IBOutlet of your constraint.

Then you set the constant value of your constraint in code:

labelWidthConstraint.constant = newValue

If you want it animated you can do something like this:

Swift

labelWidthConstraint.constant = newValue
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: { 
    self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})

Objective-C

self.labelWidthConstraint.constant = newValue;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{        
    [self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
