No, oppositely it DEcreases the hydroxide concentration by reaction:
H+ (from acid) + OH- --> H2O
The premise of this question is incorrect. When NaOH is added to water the hydroxide concentration increases. NaOH is a base. If a substance decreases hydroxide concentration it would be an acid.

Acids have more hydronium than hydroxide. Bases are the reverse of that.
H3O+ (or just H+)
Increases greatly

the excess hydronium reacts with hydroxide in water to form more water and reduce the amount of hydroxide present.

Any solution that has a pH level higher then seven is going to contain the higher concentrations of hydroxide. The gastric acid located in the stomach has very high concentrations of hydroxide.

hydroxide
H3O+ (or just H+)
Benzoic acid is soluble in water, as are all acids, by definition. An acid is a chemical which, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of H+ ions.
Increases greatly
As a general rule of thumb, for acid solutions [H+] > [OH-], for basic solutions [H+] < [OH-], and for neutral solutions or for pure water [H+] = [OH-] This is the answer but can someone explain it to me?
There is no reaction. "Hydroxide acid" is water, which does not react with sodium hydroxide.
