In which case, I would say that one should vote for which of only AV or FPTP you prefer, not what you think is more likely to lead to PR.
(I know that there are some people who want PR voting no because they do believe AV to be worse than FPTP; but the site linked above appears to make no argument against AV compared with FPTP, and only talks in terms of what they think will be more likely to lead to PR.)
Having said that, it's no secret that people who want electoral reform prefer other systems. I'm not sure who "we" is in your quote - the Tories aren't going to offer PR in either case, but a "No" result means they can far more easily claim the public support their point of view. It's far harder to do that if there's a "Yes" result.
