I think that what you're asking is what is the chance of making a pair of Aces or Kings on the flop when you hold AK.
The chances are about 1 in 3.

The question should have been clarified re whether it meant FLOPPING a pair or eventually making one by the river. I would imagine the question of a flopped pair has more practical value since most people would fold an AK on the flop if it missed.
