Acetyl chloride reacts violently with acids (Pohanish, Richard P.; Greene, Stanley A. (2009). Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities (3rd Edition). John Wiley & Sons. p. 20).
If the weak acid is in an aqueous solution, the water presents a significant hazard. Acyl halides react vigorously with water in an exothermic reaction producing HX gas (Pohanish, Richard P.; Greene, Stanley A. (2009). Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities (3rd Edition). John Wiley & Sons. p. 20).
Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
