Solution

When a weak base reacts with a strong acid it results in formation of an acidic salt along with water.

Ammonium hydroxide $({NH}_{4} OH)$ is a weak base and hydrogen chloride $(HCl)$ is a strong acid. Hence, the salt obtained here is ammonium chloride $({NH}_{4} Cl)$ and it is acidic in nature.
