The same way the default value is defined, which you can find by doing:
\d tablename

Which usually gives something like:
                                          Table "public.gbs_floorplans"
        Column        |     Type      |                                Modifiers

----------------------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
---------------------------------
 floorplan_id         | integer       | not null default
nextval('public.gbs_floorplans_floorplan_id_seq'::text)
 division_id          | character(3)  | not null
 floorplan_display_id | character(10) | not null

Hence
SELECT nextval('public.gbs_floorplans_floorplan_id_seq'::text)
