The compound you have drawn is an imidazoline not an imidazole - big difference.
Imidazolines are fairly easily to hydroyse in both acidic and basic media, there is a good review here.
Imidazoles on the other hand are much more stable aromatic compounds and the hydrolytic ring opening is far from straighforward.
