I agree, check the accessory belt tension. Try to move the accessory pulleys by hand.
Another thing, turn everything but the car off, at idle, turn the steering wheel all the way to the stops (both ways). If that doesn't make the squeal, turn on the A/C and turn the wheel. If that doesn't work, hold the rev at 2k and repeat the above steps. Go up in revs and hold while doing the steps until it does it again. This is to eliminate the PS and A/C belts. A buddy at the engine bay can help too.

More than likely it is a belt. 1st, check the belt tension, if it is loose, tighten it (them). Careful not to over tighten the belt or you could wear out the bearings in the accessory or tensioner/idler. If it is not loose, spray each belt (one at a time) with WD40, if the squeak goes away, replace that belt.
One belt runs the power steering pump, the other runs the alternator/air conditioner.
