Im wondering where or how I can find the pKa of a hydrogen alpha to the carbonyl of n-Ethyl propionate.

Have you checked Williams' table of pKa values?

Williams gives a value for one ester as about 24.5.  When using any table, I would pay attention to whether the pKa was determined in water or in DMSO.
