Well, I think, if you use a Dean-Strark apparatus, you will be able to get the ester. If the boiling point of ester is more than that of water, then on refluxing, water will collect in the side tube.

What is the difference between a hydrolysis and neutralization reaction?

Esterification involves the reaction between an alkanol and alkanoic acid while neutralization involves an acid and a base.2. Esterification produces ester and water as product while neutralization produces salt and water only. 3. Esterification is a reversible reaction while neutralization is not.Esterification occurs in the presence of a mineral acid which act as a catalyst and also a as a dehydrating agent while neutralization can occur without been in the presence of a mineral acid.
