The addition of sodium hydroxide would shift the equilibrium to the left, favoring the formation of more CrO42– and H+. This is because NaOH will react with the H+ ions to form water, reducing the concentration of H+ ions and causing the equilibrium to shift in the reverse direction to produce more H+ ions.
