Here is the answer :
In terms of Chemistry, Stability happens only when an atom has filled it's outermost shell, In detail, S and P block elements should follow Octet Rule !.
K is in 1st Group that is , It is in S block,
Atomic number of k = 19,
Electronic Configuration :
1s² 2s² 2p6 3s² 3p6 4s¹,
We see that, Pottasium(k) has 1 electron in it's outermost shell,
So k+ will have, 8 outermost electrons,
According to Octet rule, K+ will be more stable !.
But remember K+ won't be free in state, It will combine with one negatively charged atom !.
Conclusion : K+ is stable, But it won't be in free State, It will be in combined state !. ,
Hope you understand, Have a great day !.
