The concept of "pH" is ill-defined for an MD system, the reasons for which have 
been discussed at length in recent days even (hint: please check the archive 
before posting).  Issues arise with the inability to change protonation, 
inadequate hydronium parameters, inability to model systems of sufficient size 
to even achieve a proper pH, and the list goes on.

The best you might hope for is not a change in "pH" (per strict definition), but 
rather changing the protonation state of titratable groups in your system 
according to pKa.
