In this paper, we have studied differential production cross section of charmed 
baryon as a function of 
in 
and p–Pb collisions at 
in the transverse momentum range of 
and 
, respectively. For this study, we compared PYTHIA 8 Monte Carlo simulations with the experimental results obtained by the ALICE Acharya et al. (Phys. Rev. C 104: 054905, 2021) and LHCb Aaij et al. (J. High Energ. Phys. 02: 102, 2019) collaborations. The transverse momentum spectra are plotted in the rapidity interval of 
for pp collisions, while in 
, 
and 
(forward) and 
(backward) rapidity intervals for p–Pb collisions by using PYTHIA 8 Monash tune and CR tunes (modes 0, 2 and 3). Baryon-to-meson ratios 
as a function of 
and rapidity are shown. The nuclear modification factor 
for 
at mid-rapidity calculated from the cross sections in 
and p–Pb collisions is also presented. Both the magnitude and trend of distributions of and ratios verses as experimentally observed are well explained by PYTHIA 8 tunes that implement color reconnection beyond leading-color approximations.
