We have,

Degree of ionization(a) = 0.132 
Concentration of bromoacetic acid (C) =  0.1 M

Thus the concentration of   H_{3}O^+ = C.a
                                                           = 0.0132 

Therefore 
p^H = -\log[H^+] = -\log(0.0132)
                                    = 1.879 

Now, we know that, 
K_a = C.a^2
So, pK_a = -\log(C.a^2)
                  \\=-\log (0.1\times (0.0132)^2)\\ =-\log (0.0017)\\ =2.76(approx)
