The easiest way is to use a pH meter. Dip it into the solution and read off the answer.
If you don't have a pH meter than it gets harder.
Colored indicators on paper strips can give you a rough idea of the pH by the color they turn when dipped in the solution. The same sort of dyes can be obtained in liquid form as well.
If you want to get an accurate pH and you don't have a pH meter you can use a process called titration, where you compare your solution with a solution with a known pH. Its slow, its complicated. Buy a meter.

What is the best method to use to determine the pH of a solution?
Using a calibrated pH-meter with correction for temperature and slope.
Are there any differences between pH meter and litmus paper recordings?
Litmus papers can only be used to determine whether the solution is acidic or basic. But from pH meter, the pH range of the solution can be determined.
What is the pH of a naturall solution?
The pH of a neutral solution is 7 and the concentration of H+ or H3O+ in the solution would be 1.0 X 10-7.
Can the amount of a solution affect the pH of that solution?
pH is the acidity. low pH is more acid, while high pH is more basic.
Would the pH of a sodium hydroxide solution be above or below 7?
NaOH is a base so it will produce a pH above 7.
What property of the solution to determine if it's an acid or a base?
To determine if the property is an Acid the solution must be less than pH 7. and to determine if the property is a Base the solution must be greater than pH 7.
What would you use to determine if a solution if is an acid or a base?
You can use a pH-paper.
To figure out the exact pH of a solution you'll need to determine the?
You need to determine the percent of hydrogen (pH) molecules in the solution.
What are some ways to determine the pH of a liquid?
The easiest way to determine the pH of a solution is to use a pH meter.

pH meter
How do you determine the pH of a solution?
lithmus paper
Is rulers used to determine the pH of a solution?
no
What is the relation between pH value and nature of the solution?
The nature of the solution be it acidic or basic will determine the PH value of the given solution.
What is the best method to use to determine the pH of a solution?
Using a calibrated pH-meter with correction for temperature and slope.
When you determine the pH of a solution what are you measuring?
The acidity of a solution. It can either be acidic, or basic.
What would be the pH of a neutral solution An acid solution A basic solution?
Neutral solution: pH =7Acidic solution: pH7.
