  In central Au-Au collisions at top RHIC energy, two particle correlation
measurements with identified hadron trigger have shown attenuation of near side
proton triggered jet-like yield at intermediate transverse momentum ($p{_T}$),
2$< p{_T} <$ 6 GeV/$\it{c}$. The attenuation has been attributed to the
anomalous baryon enhancement observed in the single inclusive measurements at
the same $p{_T}$ range. The enhancement has been found to be in agreement with
the models invoking coalescence of quarks as a mechanism of hadronization.
Baryon enhancement has also been observed at LHC in the single inclusive
spectra. We study the consequence of such an enhancement on two particle
correlations at LHC energy within the framework of A Multi Phase Transport
(AMPT) model that implements quark coalescence as a mode of hadronization. In
this paper we have calculated the proton over pion ratio and the near side per
trigger yield associated to pion and proton triggers at intermediate $p{_T}$
from String Melting (SM) version of AMPT. Results obtained are contrasted with
the AMPT Default (Def.) which does not include coalescence. Baryon enhancement
has been observed in AMPT SM at intermediate $p{_T}$. Near side jet-like
correlated yield associated to baryon (proton) trigger in the momentum region
where baryon generation is enhanced is found to be suppressed as compared to
the corresponding yields for the meson (pion) trigger in most central Pb-Pb
events. No such effect has been found in the Default version of AMPT.
