Considering the positive solution of the following nonlinear elliptic Neumann problem

$\Delta_0 u-\lambda u+f(u)=0, u>0,\$ in $\Omega,\quad \frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}=0\$ on $\partial\Omega$

where $\Omega$ is convex and $f(u)$ defined by (2). We prove that for $1< p_i < 5$, $i=1,\cdots, K$ and $\lambda$ small, the only solution to the above problem is constant. This can be seen as a generalization of Theorem 1 in [7].
