"Frying" is correct, but that is not how native speakers would say the sentence.

@InfernoHues Could you explain how it makes sense?? I'm sorry, but I don't understand😭😭
bacon is being fried, so I think fried is correct
bacon is being fried, so I think fried is correct

1. "The smell of fried bacon aroused his hunger." is correct.
2. "The smell of frying bacon aroused his hunger." is correct.
They are both correct, but sentence #1 sounds more natural.

I think is common usage:-
"I see you are cooking. I can smell the bacon frying. That smell of frying bacon makes me hungry" OR " I see you are cooking. I can smell the bacon frying. The smell of fried bacon makes me hungry."
"You have finished cooking. I can smell the fried bacon." ̶"̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶s̶m̶e̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶r̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶o̶n̶"̶.̶
