Incidentally the antes are not as important here as people seem to think. The pot is 4 handed and 3 bets have gone in by the time the action gets to you... the antes are unlikely to be swinging your decision now.

As pure money, no, the antes don't matter as much as the bets. The high ante makes it more likely the other players are over-playing their hands trying to win the pot early, and it should change our reads. If it were a a super-tight structure with the same action (B-I open completes, gets called and then raised by an overcard), our pair of Tens looks like crap. In this structure, it is certainly playable.

That's a good point actually and I did neglect that.
The reason I did though is I thought the OP said this was 200-400 or something like that, and to my knowledge those limits always have at least moderately large antes.
Plus I'm not really sure this particular sequence of actions has a much different import in a high versus low ante structure.
Imo the Q should be playing aggressively with any playable hand just because of his upcard (and the implied weakness of an open-complete and a call) in any reasonable structure.
