Voiceless bilabial plosive.
When we pronounce this sound, the lower lip, the active articulator , and the upper lip, the passive articulator, are closed, they form a complete closure. The velum is in its raised position. When the articulators are separated the lung air goes out through the mouth producing a kind of plosion. The vocal folds do not vibrate during the production of this sound.
