You asked a very good question
Does sodium hydroxide reacting with sulfuric acid give a warm solution?
Change the question, say do neutralisation reactions give warm solution?
Neutralisation reactions are acid base reactions which give salt and water, along with liberating heat.
This heat makes the solution warm. In other words neutralisation reactions are exothermic reactions .
For example NaOH + H2SO4 --> H2O + Na2SO4 + heat
The amount of heat released would be around 50 to 56 Kj/ mol

Sodium hydroxide is a base and it is reacting with sulfuric acid. Neutralization reactions are exothermic, meaning they release heat to the environment as the reaction proceeds. So the answer to your question is 'yes'.
