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.)

∙ 13y agobaking soda is bicarbonate of soda, plus an acid salt - usually cream of tartar. When the powder is dissolved in water (in the batter of the bakery product), the acid salt reacts with the bicarbonate of soda, and CO2 is released. And the bakery product "rises."
Many recipes use just bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) as the rising agent, but they will usually have to have some kind of acid included in the batter to react with the baking soda.

How long does baking power stay fresh?
For a good long time if it is kept properly stored. Here is a test you can use to make sure your baking powder is usable . Put water in a teaspoon and sprinkle a little bit of the baking powder in the water. If your baking powder is good the water will fizz sort of like a soda does. if you don't hear or see the fizz then baking powder is no good and should be tossed out.
Does baking powder fizz in water?

If you take a pinch of the baking powder and put it in water, it should fizzle. If it does not fizzle, it is no longer fresh.
Is baking powder used in baking soda?
Baking powder is not the same as baking soda. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar, which are both raising agents designed for different purposes - one of them is activated by water, the other by heat. Baking soda is "strong" compared to baking powder, and is not a direct substitute for baking powder.
Why does baking powder fizz with water?
I bought a box of Great Value baking soda to use in my laundry. When I added water, it bubbled. My Armor and Hammer baking brand did not do that, ever, unless I added vinegar. I am concerned that as they are so different, one may have an additive? Not sure so will not use.
What happens when bakingsoda chemicals are combined with vinegar chemicals?
If you mix baking soda NaHCO3into pure water nothing happens. however if there is any acid in the water it will react with it to give of carbon dioxide.Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda and acid and will give a very strong reaction in water and many other liquids
