How converting bromoacetanilide to bromoaniline with acid


In the experiment, why do we add sodium hydroxide after converting bromoacetanilide to bromoaniline with acid? I would guess toneutralize the acid but what happens if we don't neutralize it? Also, if we don't start the steam distillation after adding soidumhydroxide, what will happen?
