Quantity matters. If there is a lot of buffer (in terms of moles) and relatively little NaOH then the buffer will prevent any change in pH. If there is relatively more NaOH than buffer, then of course the pH will rise.
it depends on the concentration of NaOH, pepsin, buffer used, ... that cannot be answered in that way...
NaOH can be used in this situation.
It changed pH. I have to adjust back with NaOH
Bromophenol blue pH indicator changes from yellow at pH 3.0 to blue at pH 4.6; it turns blue even in neutral water (pH=7) so when NaOH is added nothing really changes: blue = blue
Britton-Robinson buffer is a "universal" pH buffer used for the range pH 2 to pH 12. Universal buffers consist of mixtures of acids of diminishing strength (increasing pKa) so that the change in pH is approximately proportional to the amount of alkali added. It consists of a mixture of 0.04 M H3BO3, 0.04 M H3PO4 and 0.04 M CH3COOH that has been titrated to the desired pH with 0.2 M NaOH. Britten and Robinson also proposed a second formulation that gave an essentially linear pH response to added alkali from pH 2.5 to pH 9.2 (and buffers to pH 12). This mixture consists of 0.0286 M citric acid, 0.0286 M KH2PO4, 0.0286 M H3BO3, 0.0286 M veronal and 0.0286 M HCl titrated with 0.2 M NaOH.
When acid is added to a buffer solution at pH 7, the pH of the buffer solution will decrease. However, due to the presence of a conjugate base in the buffer solution, the buffer will resist the change in pH and try to maintain its original pH value. This is because the conjugate base will react with the acid and prevent a significant decrease in pH.

The buffer maintain the pH constant.

Since we do not know the buffer or its concentration, we cannot provide an answer.
HCl : makes it acidic. it decreases the pH NaOH : makes it alkaline. it increases the pH

A buffer is a substance in a solution that releases and captures hydrogen ions, keeping the pH the same.Sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not changeA buffer resists change in pH by accepting hydrogen ions when acids are added to the solution and donating hydrogen ions when bases are added.
