We show that there is a correlation between the invariant mass of the produced \Lambda K^+, \Lambda K^+\pi^+\pi^- or \Lambda K^+ \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^- system in the exclusive reaction pp\to p\Lambda K^+\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^- and the longitudinal or transverse momentum of $\Lambda$. Together with the longitudinal and transverse momentum dependence of Lambda polarization observed in inclusive reactions, such a correlation implies a dependence of Lambda polarization on these invariant masses. The qualitative features of this dependence are consistent with the recent observation by E766 collaboration at BNL. A quantitative estimation has been made using an event generator for $pp$ collisions. A detailed comparison with the data is made.
