The problem states that Pixie buys 4 identical sweets for a total of 16p, and we need to find the cost of 1 sweet.

To calculate this, we divide the total cost by the number of sweets:

\[
\text{Cost of 1 sweet} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of sweets}} = \frac{16p}{4} = 4p
\]

Therefore, one sweet costs **4p**.
