You shouldn't be in the hand, as even calling with AQ off is questionable.
I just ran a simulation having AQ off vs a UTG player who only plays top 10%. AQ lost mega. (UTG was dealt top 10% hand every time vs opponent who had AQ off every time. Other 8 hands at table were random.). AJ would likely be a big underdog against even top 15%. This is a garbage hand unless the raise is like from the hijack or later.
If this is a very loose preflop raiser and you want to play, you have to 3 bet and try to isolate and get the dead blind money in the pot. AJ off suit is not a good multi-way hand. You'd have to be suited to make the cold call.

I guess I have to retract a bit. I just did a little test holding AJ offsuit in the cuttoff against an early position player who plays the top 15% UTG. AJ did very well cold calling two bets. The other hands at the table were random. These are bots, but they play pretty well. I now have no opinion on the subject.
