Without police involvement, you can't.

Hacking is a crime, bring your evidence to the police. The police can work to contact the ISP and encourage them to reveal (to them) the customer to which that IP was assigned.

Welcome to Android Central! Any particular reason why you think someone hacked your phone? In the vast majority of cases, strange phone behavior is due more to system glitches or poorly coded apps rather than a sinister agent "hacking" the device.
