If your relay module is 12V and you provide only 5V it will not behave like it should.
I recommend you to buy a 5V relay module and do not use the raspi's output pins to power it, because when you do that you may drain current from raspi and the kernel may reboot or freeze.
What I do is use the 5V relay module and power it with the same power supply for the raspi.
It works but the best system is using 2 independent power supplies.
