We present results of transport properties measurement on a single crystal of V3Si showing distinct signature of peak-effect in its vortex state. The field variation of the electrical resistance in the flux-line lattice prepared by different experimental path, namely zero field cooling (ZFC) and field cooling (FC), shows a distinct path dependence in the vicinity of the peak-effect regime. In the field cooled state, small cycling of magnetic field modifies the resistance drastically around the peak-effect regime, highlighting the metastable nature of that state in the concerned regime.
