We have predicted the phase transition pressures and corresponding relative volume change of LaTe and SmTe having NaCl- type structure under high pressure using three body interaction potential (TBIP) approach and found better results with TBIP. In addition we have checked the conditions for relative stability in terms of modified Born certerion and also found that LaTe and SmTe follow the universal equation of state described by Vinet et al.
