Solution

No observable reaction happens.

LONGER EXPLANATION: In a double replacement reaction, two aqueous ionic compounds switch partners — the cation of one reactant pairs with the anion of the other reactant, and vice versa. In this reaction, both reactants have the same anion OH (hydroxide). Therefore, even if they switch partners, the compounds will still stay the same. If Ca and Na switched places, they would both still have OH as their partner anion.

*Keep in mind that chemical formula of an ionic compound has balanced charges, so the subscripts should be disregarded when looking for the cation and the anion in the reaction.
