Popis: Strange particles are produced only during high-energy collisions and carry important information regarding collision dynamics. Recent results by the ALICE Collaboration on strangeness enhancement in high-multiplicity p+p collisions have highlighted the importance of the rope hadronization mechanism in high-energy nucleon-nucleon collisions. With the help of the \texttt{PYTHIA8} model, we made an attempt to study the strange particle production in high-energy p+p collisions at the LHC energy in the light of different color reconnection models and rope hadronization mechanism. The effect of color reconnection ranges on different observables is also discussed. The integrated yield of strange hadrons and bayon-to-meson ratios as a function of charged-particle multiplicity in p+p collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV are well described by the hadronization mechanism of color ropes together with the QCD-based color reconnection scheme. The increasing trend of the average transverse momentum, $\langle p_{\rm T}\rangle$, as a function of $\langle dN/d\eta \rangle_{|\eta| < 0.5}$ can be explained quantitatively by the MPI-based color reconnection mechanism with a reconnection range of RR = 3.6; on the other hand, it is underestimated by the rope hadronization model.
