      The needed info  Bookmark   

The reaction goes like:

CH3COOH + NaOH -> CH3COONa + H2O

The molecular weight of NaOH is 40g/mol and of acetic acid 91g/mol (its density is 1.05).

Now you easily can calculate how much you need to neutralize the solution, as the other reactants affect the pH very little.

      And then some more if you want to basify ...  Bookmark   

And then some more if you want to basify rather than just neutralize. But that math is more complicated, so after adding the above amount, use pH paper to determine how much more you need to add to reach the desired pH.
