We report the influence of external pressure (P= up to 8 GPa) on the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity of a Yb-based Kondo lattice, YbPd2Si2, which does not undergo magnetic ordering under ambient pressure condition. There are qualitative changes in the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity due to the application of external pressure. While the resistivity is found to vary quadratically below 15 K (down to 45 mK) characteristic of Fermi-liquids, a drop is observed below 0.5 K for P= 1 GPa. Since the resistance values do not attain zero, we are attempted to attribute this drop to magnetic ordering, rather than to superconductivity. The temperature at which this fall occurs goes through a peak as a function of P (8 K for2 GPa and about 5 K at higher pressures). mimicking Doniach's magnetic phase diagram. We conclude that this is one of the few Yb-based stoichiometric materials, in which one can travers from valence fluctuation to magnetic ordering by the application of external pressure.
