  The mass dependence plays a significant role in the yield enhancement or
suppression of hadrons in pp and p-Pb collisions at the LHC energies. This has
been observed by parameterizing the variation of yield ratios between any two
hadrons with event charged-particle multiplicity using a single empirical
function. We notice that this variation is independent of all quantum numbers
and solely depends on masses of hadrons and masses of their valence quarks. The
function shows that the amount of quark deconfinement increases with event
multiplicity, and the quark coalescence favours more the production of heavier
hadrons compared to lighter ones.
