Phenolphthlalein is something like a pH indicator. When it is added to a liquid and the liquid turns pink, it means that the latter substance is basic.

When the solution is added with NaOH, it will turn pink.

Note that NaOH serves as a carbon dioxide neutralizer.

The color of the solution will slowly fade after some time, because carbon dioxide is present in the air neutralizing the color effect of the NaOH.
