Default AKo versus TAG (standard play?)

$100/200 Live NL game
Blinds are $3/5

MP1 is a solid, tight aggressive who keeps notes on every player and is very good.

Stacks:
MP1 $250
Hero $1000

Hero is dealt AKo in the BB.

Preflop: UTG & UTG+1 folds, MP1 raises to $30, folded to Hero who calls.

MP1's hand range: AA-99, AK, AQ. Given the size of the bet, more likely to be 99-QQ, especially since Hero holds both an Ace and King.

Hero did not reraise because it was heads up, MP1 will come over the top for all his chips with anything that beats Hero, and AK in this situation is an underdog with no dead money in the pot.

Flop: 953 rainbow (2 players)
Pot: $60

Hero checks, MP1 bets $60, Hero folds.

With the size of his stack it looks like check raise all in or fold. I'd personally fold, pot is fairly small to be doing anything with Ace high imo.

I don't really get your question. If you're sure about his hand range, then you're a big dog after that flop.

ETA: Well, not a huge dog - more like 60-40. However, I think you know that a call is wrong, especially given that you have about zero implied odds even if you do hit, unless Villain holds A-Q.
