Answer:

an acidic pH

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a strong base and a strong acid make a neutral* salt,
a strong base and a weak acid makes a weakly basic salt,
a weak base and a strong acid makes a weakly acidic salt.

NH4ClO4 is a salt made from NH3 and HClO4,
or a weak base and a strong acid, so thus NH4ClO4 is weakly acidic
