Is there a reaction between the ammonium hydroxide inside a plastic bag when immersed in a water with phenolphthalein?

If the phenolphthalein solution turns pink, that means that the plastic bag is permeable to ammonium hydroxide. If it remains colorless, then the plastic bag is not permeable to ammonium hydroxide. If the contents of the plastic bag turn pink, then the plastic bag is permeable to phenolphthalein. If everything remains colorless, then the bag is impermeable to both ammonium hydroxide and phenolphthalein.
