You wou need to include information about the initial volunme of water and the amount of HCl added.

The general equaltion would look like:

[H3O+] = (6 mol/ L HCl)(x L of HCl) / (y L of H2O + x L of HCl)

Then pH = - log ([H3O+])

Put pH paper in the solution and use a pH color graph. If you search "pH color graph" on a search engine you should probably find it--though I haven't tried it myself.
