No, it will form a basic solution of Sodium Hydroxide as per the following equation.

Na2O + H2O ---> 2NaOH

As the solution will have OH- ions so it will be basic.

Na2O is a basic oxide and basic oxide dissolve in water to form bases( here NaOH). Acidic oxides dissolves in water to form acids.

Alkali metal(group 1 of Periodic Table) oxides are always basic oxides, but all metal oxides may not be basic( some transition metal oxides are acidic).

When a solution of an acidic reacts with a solution of a base hydronium ions react with hydroxide ions to form?

They form water! H3O+ OH = 2H2O . If you can see, there's four hydrogens, two oxygens. This is just enough to make 2 molecules of water!
