If this is the principle that is more powerful than any force then
there will be no limit to neutron star's sizes. If the Pauli Exclusion
Principle is no barrier of itself then it is a law.

Ever hear of black holes?

In its original form, the Pauli exclusion principle asserted that no
two electrons in an atom can be in the same state or configuration at
the same time. The principle has since been generalized to include the
whole class of particles called fermions which include protons,
neutrons, electrons, and neutrinos.

It's not impossible, for example, to stick another electron into a
shell, but it will take a lot of energy. So the Pauli exclusion
principle just states how electrons normally behave, not how they
behave in very extreme environments. In a collapsing star the
gravitational energy is so big that all the particles get smashed
together, despite the exclusion principle.

How strong is the force of the Principle?

If it is a law it would be infinitely small.
