Passively played AK (reasoning within)

Sure, but when we have a hand that may be able to extract value postflop, don't you think we're better off flatting here than folding out AQ/AJ/KQ???

EDIT: Maybe you meant UTG+1 who is the guy who folds a lot to 3bets. CO is the preflop 3bet who I got to the flop with, UTG+1 folds preflop.

if BB's 3bing 5% where is the 4b? that number surely goes up as its a squeeze.

Sorry, don't follow. Are you saying you'd expect him to squeeze more than his 3bet stat?

If you haven't been 3betting him frequently yet, then flatting AK is okay imo. However, if you have noticed he folds to 3bet frequently, you should be 3betting him frequently enough by now that you probably want AK in your 3bet/5bet range, unless you suspect he just doesn't care to ever adjust.

UTG+1 = CO as it's 5 handed and you are BU. The squeezer is the BB.

I assume that is the BB's overall 3bet % you posted? If it indeed is, then certainly his 3bet range is likely to widen in a squeeze spot with a villain who folds frequently as the opener. So 4bet/calling seems fine.
