No, there wouldn't be any measurable effect on the pH of the solution.

The only way to affect the pH of the aqueous solution would be changing its proportion of OH- and "H+". At room temperature the concentration of these two species is 10^-7 mol/l and the product of both concentrations must always be 10^-14 mol²/l² at these conditions.

Consequently a change in the concentration of one of these ions would affect the concentration of the other. This could be achieved by binding either OH- to Na+ or "H+" to Cl-. Binding OH- to Na+ would rise the concentration of "H+" and by this leading to an acidic character of the solution.

Since NaOH is a very strong base and HCl is a very strong acid, both dissolve completely in water to Na+ (aq), OH-, Cl- (aq) and "H+". No chemically bound NaOH or HCl in the solution is observable and no change in the ("H+"/OH-)-ratio occurs. Thus the pH stays the same.
