We present experimental results on inclusive spectra and mean multiplicitiesof negatively charged pions produced in inelastic p+p interactions at incidentprojectile momenta of 20, 31, 40, 80 and 158 GeV/c ($\sqrt{s} = $ 6.3, 7.7,8.8, 12.3 and 17.3 GeV, respectively). The measurements were performed usingthe large acceptance NA61/SHINE hadron spectrometer at the CERN Super ProtonSynchrotron.  Two-dimensional spectra are determined in terms of rapidity and transversemomentum. Their properties such as the width of rapidity distributions and theinverse slope parameter of transverse mass spectra are extracted and theircollision energy dependences are presented. The results on inelastic p+pinteractions are compared with the corresponding data on central Pb+Pbcollisions measured by the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS.  The results presented in this paper are part of the NA61/SHINE ion programdevoted to the study of the properties of the onset of deconfinement and searchfor the critical point of strongly interacting matter. They are required forinterpretation of results on nucleus-nucleus and proton-nucleus collisions.
