We present a new measurement of the B{sup +} meson differential cross section d{sigma}/dp{sub T} at {radical}(s)=1960 GeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 739 pb{sup -1} collected with the upgraded CDF detector (CDF II) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. B{sup +} candidates are reconstructed through the decay B{sup +}{yields}J/{psi}K{sup +}, with J/{psi}{yields}{mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}. The integrated cross section for producing B{sup +} mesons with p{sub T}{>=}6 GeV/c and |y|{<=}1 is measured to be 2.78{+-}0.24 {mu}b.
