I truly doubt that there is any way to get acetic acid, a carboxylic acid, to form an alkyne, as generally, in organic chemistry, there are patterns to these sorts of syntheses, such as oxidizing alcohols to form carboxylic acids, or esters by reacting a carboxylic acid with an alcohol. However, if your question was more general, in simply creating acetylene, I must forewarn you that acetylene is incredibly volatile, and combusts quickly and violently. I've posted a link below, a testament to the danger this compound poses.

 

 

A question one must ask is, why do you want to produce it anyway? (Meaning no offense, but... safety first.)
