  The relative J/$\psi$ yields as a function of relative charged-particle
multiplicity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 TeV, measured at forward
rapidity, are investigated for the first time. A linear increase of the
relative J/$\psi$ yield with respect to multiplicity is observed. A comparison
of the findings of the present work with the available ALICE measurements
obtained in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at forward and mid-rapidity
indicates that the increase of J/$\psi$ with multiplicity is independent of
energy but exhibits a strong dependence on the rapidity gap between the
J/$\psi$ and multiplicity measurements. The results are compared with
theoretical model calculations.
