Default Are we REALLY willing to gamble to win?

Hypothetical scenario that I think comes up often enough that I should have an answer for it (my typical answer is to shove but I'm an idiot):

It's getting late in the tourney and you are a slightly below average stack (~5k) sitting on the button with AJs. The BB is 400 with an ante of 50.

Assume that the chip leaders in the tourney have just over 20k.

UTG+1 raises to 1400. MP player calls. Both players have a stack of 6,500. There is now approximately 4k in the pot. Shove?

What if I tell you that UTG+1 is going to call you with QQ and MP is going to fold?

Same question as the above but your stack is 4k instead of 5k?
