Including people who did minimal contribution as co authors

Hi, I am a first author for a manuscript and before we submit, my PI wanted to include two undergrads who did less than 1% of contributions to the whole manuscript. I disagreed and mentioned I could mention them in acknowledgement section to acknowledge their minimal work. What should i do?
