I had no idea how to play this AK hand

UTG has been playing very LAG. He has been making this 3 dollar raise a lot. I did not like UTG+1 being in the pot though.

MP3 ($45.7)

Button ($54.05)
SB ($44.13)

UTG ($65.45)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG raises to $3, UTG+1 calls $3, 5 folds, Button calls $3, 1 fold, Hero calls $2.50.

Flop: ($12.25) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $10, UTG+1 calls $10, Button folds, Hero calls $10.

*Here I was pretty sure UTG would bet out so I just checked. Once UTG+1 just called, I instantly put him on a King. He seemed like a pretty tight player.

Turn: ($42.25) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets $32.45 (All-In), UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $32.45.

*Here the pot is so large, I have no idea what to do. UTG has been going very far with marginal hands, so I wanted him to call, while getting UTG+1 out.

River: ($107.15) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $107.15

Results in white below: 
Hero has Kd As (two pair, aces and kings).
UTG+1 has Ac Kc (two pair, aces and kings).
Outcome: Hero wins $53.57. UTG+1 wins $53.57. 

I dont know how else this hand can be played. I have been trying to not inflate the pot so much with TPTK on the flop, but with this turn I thought all in was my only option. What could I have done differently?
