  White and yellow are very close so you're not going to be able to do much in post.
  
  Re-shoot and attempt to separate the faint white line from the bright yellow background. To do so, the general idea is to plunge the room in darkness to isolate the faint white line.
  
  * Change the yellow background to a black or dark grey background. Either repaint or replace the background, or, if you can't, flag it in such a way as to darken it, i.e. plunge it in a shadow.
  * If the faint white line is traveling through empty space, like a laser beam at a music show, try and sprinkle some fine corn starch flour over it to see how the light beam interacts with the particles of corn starch. Experiment with other material to find what looks good to you.
