A search is reported for a narrow vector resonance decaying to quark-antiquark pairs in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $2.7\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. The vector resonance is produced at large transverse momenta, with its decay products merged into a single jet. The resulting signature is a peak over background in the distribution of the invariant mass of the jet. The results are interpreted in the framework of a leptophobic vector resonance and no evidence is found for such particles in the mass range of 100--300 GeV. Upper limits at 95% confidence level on the production cross section are presented in a region of mass-coupling phase space previously unexplored at the LHC. The region below 140 GeV has not been explored by any previous experiments.
