Apply parity operator from the right side (P^{-1}P=I$P^{-1}P=I$). PO=-OPThen $PO=-OP$. WhichThis means PO+OP=0$PO+OP=0$ and the Parity operator is anti-commuting with operator O$O$. This operator cnacan be for instance momentum operator which i anti-commutes with parity operator. When an operator anti-commutes with parity then the operator has odd-parity (if commutes it is called even parity). In my opinion, from the given information we cannot understand whether parity is conserved or not. For instance, you need something like this: parity of plus charged pion is odd. Then after the decay of plus charged pion, the products should satisfy this odd parity. I hope this helps.
