Water will dissociate to give H+ ions to neutralise OH- ions.

another doubt!!

NaOH is added to 10 litres of which solution???

one of the explanation may be that,

NaOH furnishes free OH- ions in solution, thus it increases basicity

or in other words the OH- ions furnished eat up the H+ ions in the soln and decrease acidity..

in either case, the pH increases....
