Answer:

Raise the pH

decrease [H+]

Step-by-step explanation:

=> Adding base would raise the pH (Bases have more pH and Acids have less pH)

=> Adding base would decrease the concentration of [H+] ions as it contains hydroxyl ions which neutralized with H+ ions so as a result the concentration of [H+] ions decreases.
