@gulraizazam0 - what operating system is the server running your application using? Debian, centos, Windows?
Do you have access to administer the server or are you using shared hosting?

Laravel 5.3 supports PHP 5.6.4 or up. So it's not your application you need to upgrade, but you need to upgrade the PHP version of your local or production environment.
If you run php --version you will see what php version you have on your server or local environment.

What package are trying to install? It may require a specific version of laravel, which if it's 5.7 needs php >= 7.1.3.
You might also have an older version of php in use by your webserver. In the root of your public directory add a file call phpinfo.php with these contents
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Go to http://yoursite/phpinfo.php and see what version you are running. Delete the phpinfo.php file once your done
