Hey,

I'm still a student, so I cannot guarantee that my answer is entirely correct, however, this is what my answer was on a similar question in a matsec paper:

> Since pepsin is an enzyme, which works best in acidic environment, such as the one provided i the stomach, no change/ reaction would be observed, because NaOH is an alkaline solution. Therefore, pepsin would not be able to work in an environment with such great pH difference to its optimum.

I hope that helped somehow although my answer is probably very late :P

Good luck,

Angelina
