First by
SELECT pgc.conkey from pg_class pgcl,pg_constraint pgc where
pgcl.relname='your table name' and pgcl.oid=pgc.conrelid and pgc.contype='p';
you get the attribute numbers of the primary key.
Then you have to lookup pg_attribute to find the column names.

In the simplified case where the primary key is consisted of only one
attribute (column), then
SELECT pgat.attname from pg_class pgcl,pg_constraint pgc,pg_attribute pgat
where pgcl.relname='your table name' and pgcl.oid=pgc.conrelid and
pgc.contype='p' and pgat.attrelid=pgcl.oid and attnum=pgc.conkey[1];

should give you the attribute name of the primary key.
Then you build your query from your program accordingly.
