Summary: Let \(R\) be a commutative ring with identity and let \(M\) be an \(R\)-module. We examine the situation where for each prime ideal \({\mathfrak p}\) of \(R\) the set of all \({\mathfrak p}\)-prime submodules of \(M\) is finite. In case \(R\) is Noetherian and \(M\) is finitely generated, we prove that this condition is equivalent to there being a positive integer \(n\) such that for every prime ideal \({\mathfrak p}\) of \(R\), the number of \({\mathfrak p}\)-prime submodules of \(M\) is less than or equal to \(n\). We further show that in this case, there is at most one \({\mathfrak p}\)-prime submodule for all but finitely many prime ideals \({\mathfrak p}\) of \(R\).
