I think it would come out nicely if you wrote it as "Pursuing Happiness: _____" and in the underlined part, explain what the research was about and how it correlated to happiness.
For example, if it was about treatments for people suffering from depression then the title could be "Pursuing Happiness: A study on the effects of SSRIs" or if it was about how I need coffee to function as a human being in the morning "Pursuing Happiness: A correlation between my morning caffine intake and mood" lol but not something that longwinded. Try to make it sound a bit scientific as that's more the point of a research paper. Your title as just "Pursuing Happiness" makes me think it's a work of fiction or perhaps a memoir, not a research paper.
