since HCL makes the medium acidic for the working of the protein digesting enzyme - PEPSIN which then breaks protein .
THUS IF HCL WILL NOT BE PRESENT IN STOMACH THEN PROTEIN WILL NOT BE DIGESTED COMPLETELY.

Proteins will not be digested if HCl is not present in the stomach. The acidic medium in the stomach converts the pepsinogen into pepsin. Pepsin is an important requirement for digestion of proteins. If HCl is not present, pepsinogen will not be activated.
