Nothing will happen it will stay the same but the solution will be slightly basic.

(Answer if you are a chemistry student:

Baking soda is NaHCO3. The sodium is a spectator ion in water and the HCO3- is the conjugate base of a weak acid, H2CO3. Therefore, you expect the weak acid to re-associate leaving hydroxide ions in solution. NaHCO3(s) + H2O(l) <--> Na+(aq) + H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)

Therefore, the solution would have a pH greater than 7 due to the hydroxide ions.)

Baking powder is not the same as baking soda.

Baking soda is "strong" compared to baking powder, and is not a direct substitute for baking powder.
