    Both voltmeters will give the same reading which will be the applied voltage to the lamp.

    Basically the voltmeter reads the potential difference between two points. If you connect more than one voltmeter to the same points in parallel, readings will remain the same. However, As many voltmeters connected in parallel will result in burden (losses) due to wires resistance and might drop the reading.

    They should both show the same reading as they are high impedance devices.
