The \pt integrated yield (d$N/\mathrm{d}y$) (top panels) and mean transverse momentum ($\langle p_{\mathrm{T}} \rangle$) (bottom panels) for \kstar (left) and \phim (right) mesons as a function of $y$ measured for the multiplicity class 0-100$\%$ in \pPb collisions at \snn $=$ 5.02 \TeV. The predictions from EPOS-LHC~, EPOS3 with and without UrQMD~, DPMJET~, HIJING~, and PYTHIA8/Angantyr~ are shown as different curves. The statistical uncertainties are represented as bars whereas the boxes indicate total systematic uncertainties.
