Yes, you want to charge them for calling with an inferior hand preflop. With 50BB effective stacks, you are playing for top pair hands. They miss the flop just as often as you do, so raising here + cbetting will get them to fold often enough when you both miss where it's +EV. Add that with the times you hit A or K, and it's even more EV. You have to raise this.

What he said. Remember that AK holds most of its strength preflop. By not putting in the raise you're letting a whole host of random hands in cheap to possibly flop a set, straight, big draw etc. against you. Oh and don't feel like you have to go broke if you miss the flop when you raise the AK.
