You can't. For privacy reasons, having someone in a circle or knowing their Google Plus id should not be enough to get an email address.

If you are developing an app or script, you can use Oauth 2.0 and request the userinfo.email scope.

This does require that you configure a Google APIs Console project and create a OAuth 2.0 client ID.

It should not be possible to find an arbitrary user's email address solely from the id contained in such a Google+ URL.
