Solution

Adding a common ion prevents the weak acid or weak base from ionizing as much as it would without the added common ion. The common ion effect suppresses the ionization of a weak acid by adding more of an ion that is a product of this equilibrium.

So the addition of NH4Cl reduces dissociation of NH4OH and because of that its pH will decrease.
