Such a prime always exists.
The sequence is unbounded.
Conjecture. For n >= 2, a(n) is a lesser of twin primes (A001359). This implies the twin prime conjecture. - Vladimir Shevelev, Sep 15 2011
If a member of this sequence is not the lesser of a twin prime pair, it is greater than 10^10. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 15 2011
A dual sequence: b(n)= least prime p for which there is no prime between n*q and n*p, where q is the previous prime before p. Evidently, b(n) is the next prime after a(n): 3,61,73,31,..., and for n>=2, by the same conjecture, b(n) is a greater of twin primes.

For a real r>1, a prime p is called an r-gap prime, if there is no prime between r*p and r*q, where q is the next prime after p. In particular, 2-gap primes are in A080192.
In many cases, q=p+2. E.g., among first 1000 terms there are 509 such cases. - Zak Seidov, Jun 29 2015

For k>1 (not necessarily integer), we call a Ramanujan k-prime R_n^(k) the prime a_k(n) which is the smallest number such that if x >= a_k(n), then pi(x)- pi(x/k) >= n. Note that, the sequence of all primes corresponds to the case of "k=oo". These numbers possess the following properties: R_n^(k)~p_((k/(k-1))n) as n tends to the infinity; if A_k(x) is the counting function of the Ramanujan k-primes not exceeding x, then A_k(x)~(1-1/k)\pi(x) as x tends to the infinity; let p be a Ramanujan k-prime, such that p/k is in the interval (p_m, p_(m+1)), where p_m>=3 and p_n is the n-th prime. Then the interval (p, k*p_(m+1)) contains a prime. Conjecture. For every k>=2 there exist non-Ramanujan k-primes, which possess the latter property. For example, for k=2, the smallest such prime is 109. Problem. For every k>2 to estimate the smallest non-Ramanujan k-prime which possesses the latter property. [From Vladimir Shevelev, Sep 01 2009]
All Ramanujan 3-primes are in the sequence.
Examples
If p=61, the p/3 is in the interval (19, 23); we see that the interval (61,69) contains a prime (67).
