$\hat{n}$ would typically be read by an English speaker as n hat (the letter n and the head covering). In IPA its pronunciation could be written as /ˈɛn hæt/.

Everytime I've seen this notation, it was always pronounced "$n$ hat." Everone who commented seem to agree, so we can relatively safely assume that this is common pronunciation.
