Pr5Si3 is an easy-plane ferromagnet with a comparatively low Curie temperature. We report the pressure dependence of the magnetization under pressures up to 18 kbar at magnetic fields up to 9 T. We have further measured the magnetotransport properties under pressure up to 60 kbar and magnetic field up to 14 T using a Bridgman pressure cell. Anomalous contributions to the Hall signal allow us to track the magnetic state up to the highest pressures studied. Our data suggest that the magnetic state of Pr5Si3 fairly abruptly develops an additional modulation for pressure in excess of ∼25 kbar, thus avoiding ferromagnetic quantum criticality.
