It should be as follows:

1-pf(171.5410/13.3074, 2, 325)

You get your F statistic from the ratio of MS-Group and MS-Error. Plugging in the degrees of freedom for numerator and denominator (i.e. 2 and 325 respectively) into F distribution, we get p-value as:

4.098518e-06

In other words, difference among means is statistically significant.

    $\begingroup$ To get upper tail probabilities you should use lower.tail=FALSE with pf rather than doing 1-pf; it's considerably more accurate in the upper tail $\endgroup$
