Determine the demand of the product
Kotler's price-setting procedure follows a fixed logical order, and the question asks for the step immediately after selecting the pricing objective.
The six steps are: select the pricing objective, determine demand, estimate costs, analyse competitors' costs/prices/offers, select a pricing method, and select the final price. So right after fixing the objective, the firm must determine the demand at various prices.
Estimating costs and analysing competitors come later, and selecting the pricing method is the fifth step, not the second. Only 'determine the demand' is the immediate next step.
