When you take the derivative of a sum over i, there will have to be a
sum over i in the result. I think you have got the equation mixed up
somehow, maybe from lecture notes.  Looking at the big and small x and
X, y and Y, p and P, I think it is supposed to look something like
this:

X = Sum[Subscript[x, i][t], {i, 1, N}];
Y = Sum[Subscript[y, i][t], {i, 1, N}];
P = Sum[Subscript[p, i][x y], {i, 1, N}];
W = Y*P;
D[W, Y] == P;

True

Still not very meaningful, but least the answer is as proposed.
