To investigate the different vortex structures between two chiral pairings ${p}_{x}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\mathrm{i}{p}_{y},$ we calculate the pair potential, the internal field, the local density of states, and the free energy in a vortex lattice state based on the quasiclassical Eilenberger theory, and analyze the magnetic-field dependence. The induced opposite chiral component of the pair potential plays an important role in the vortex structure. It also produces an $\sqrt{H}$ behavior of the zero-energy density of states at higher field. These results are helpful when we understand the vortex states in ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{RuO}}_{4}.$
