See this answer on a similar question: Finding out Windows service's running process name

Using a WMI query you can -

Find all services related to a single exe (a single exe can host multiple services):

select Name from Win32_Service where ProcessId = 588

Or, to answer this question, you can get the PID of the process that a service is running in:

select ProcessId from Win32_Service where Name = 'wuauserv'
