It was shown recently that a $mathcal{P}mathcal{T}$-symmetric $i{ensuremath{phi}}^{3}$ quantum field theory in $6ensuremath{-}ϵ$ dimensions possesses a nontrivial fixed point. The critical behavior of this theory around the fixed point is examined and it is shown that the corresponding phase transition is related to the existence of a nontrivial solution of the gap equation. The theory is studied first in the mean-field approximation and the critical exponents are calculated. Then, it is examined beyond the mean-field approximation by using renormalization-group techniques, and the critical exponents for $6ensuremath{-}ϵ$ dimensions are calculated to order $ϵ$. It is shown that because of its stability the $mathcal{P}mathcal{T}$-symmetric $i{ensuremath{phi}}^{3}$ theory has a higher predictive power than the conventional ${ensuremath{phi}}^{3}$ theory. A comparison of the $i{ensuremath{phi}}^{3}$ model with the Lee-Yang model is given.
