Normally, when HCl is added to a solution, pH decreases by a large factor. However, because a buffer solution is a weak acid, the effect on the pH on the solution will be considerably less. To understand why, see http://michele.usc.edu/java/acidbase/acidbase.html

Depends how much you add - buffers only minimise small changes in pH - If you added like 50cm^3 when it previously only had 10cm^3 present in the buffer, then clearly this would not be a buffer any more - just an excess of HCl.
