Dear Boyang,
Thanks for the reply. How can I increase the Langevin piston's mass in the configuration file ? I couldn't find any keyword in conf file to do it ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Oguz,
pressure fluctuates a lot in NPT ensemble, because the volume fluctuates a lot. If you would like smaller fluctuation of pressure, you can increase the Langevin piston's mass in the configuration file.
