Varies a lot. Cool and dry help.If the fruit stopped growing already then its likely not to make it-but that's speculation.keep it on the plant and shade it for best chance.

How old is the pumpkin and how healthy is the plant?

if already picked ---cool and dry as darth cojoe suggested.
if all done growing but still hooked up to the plant? ---cut away all but one or two vines to support the pumpkins health, keep a sheet over her and then later on once picked? see above.

That does sound a little small for an average AG seed. I'd be a bit concerned, but if it is continuing to grow, leave it on the plant as long as the plant is healthy and the stem is too.
