What reference frame is used to measure the velocity, v=distance/time? p=(mv)/(3sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)). Suppose the momentum of an electron is being observed in a lab. It could be observed in a lab that as the speed of electron increases, it becomes harder to accelerate it. To measure the velocity of electron, we need to measure distance or displacement and time.

This equation is based on inertial frames. So it can be measured in any inertial frame. Assuming that the lab is inertial then that includes the lab frame and any frame moving uniformly with respect to the lab frame.
