ANSWER

Acidic

Step-by-step explanation

Ammonium chloride is an acidic salt prepared the combination of a strong acid and a weak base

The strong acid is the hydrochloric acid and the weak base is the ammonium hydroxide.

Below is the reaction between hydrochloric acid and ammonium hydroxide

$\text{ HCl}_((aq))\text{ + NH}_4OH_((aq))\rightarrow\text{ NH}_4Cl\text{ + H}_2O$

Therefore, the pH of NH4Cl in solution is acidic.
