VPESR is an acronym (a word composed of the first letters of a phrase) that stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion.

It's a scientific theory in the field of chemisty, and it predicts the shape of a molecule based on what atoms form this molecule.

If you want to understand the meaning of the name, you can devide it into

Valence shell electron
-electrons that are on the "outside" of the atom and can form bonds with other atoms

and it's the repulsion of these electrons that is being predicted.
