An aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid will neutralize the basic salt and form a precipitation of stearinic acid, which is a solid at room temperature, leaving sodium chloride in the solution. If you drop a bar of soap in HCl the stearinic acid will form a protective layer around the soap and it will not dissolve.
