Compile the script to EXE and execute that or else just run Autoit3.exe with as parameter your script:

"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe" "C:\path-to-scriptfile\script.au3"

If you read help file you should find :

AutoIt specific command Line Switches

Form1: AutoIt3.exe [/ErrorStdOut] [/AutoIt3ExecuteScript] file [params ...]

Execute an AutoIt3 Script File

So your bat should be like this

Start "%ProgramFiles%\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteScript" "C:\AutoIt Script.au3"

Edit : Works without /AutoIt3ExecuteScript arg, too
