empty tag between image and title

I’m getting a large gap between the image (whether thumbnail or medium) and the title. I’m not showing any other content.

The empty <p> that I would like to eliminate comes directly after the image:

<div class="col-md-4 pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-1-col">
<a class="_self" target="_self" href="https://example.com/post-one/">
<img class="pt-cv-thumbnail wp-post-image" height="150" width="150"  src="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/image-46-150x150.jpg">
</a>
<p></p>
<h4 class="pt-cv-title">
<a class="_self" target="_self" href="https://example.com/post-one/">Post One Title</a>
</h4>
</div>
