1. If this is a beginning chemistry question the answer is that KCl doesn't do anything to the pH. In advanced courses you will learn that the activity coefficient has an effect and the pH will decrease slightly.

2. Since KOH ionizes 100% it will produce OH^- and that will increase the OH^- which will make the pH higher.
