The \pt integrated yield (d$N/\mathrm{d}y$) (upper panels) and mean transverse momentum $\left(\langle\pt\rangle\right)$ (bottom panels) for \kstar (left) and \phim (right) mesons as a function of $y$, divided by the d$N/\mathrm{d}y$ and $\langle p_{\mathrm{T}} \rangle$ at $y = 0$ 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.
