Default Facing an all-in raise on the flop while holding pocket aces

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 SB and $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

So far, BB has probably noticed that I played aggressively, especially pre-flop and on the flop. I perceived him/her as a pretty tight player who, at this point, may very well have been fed up with my seemingly overly loose-aggressive play.

BB ($14.49)
UTG ($24.22)
MP ($19.09)
CO ($25)
Button ($68.92)
Hero ($32.60)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.25.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.1</font>, BB calls $0.85, CO folds.

Flop: ($2.45) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2.65</font>, BB calls $13.39 (All-In).

BB would've been committed to the pot anyway if he wanted to make a substantial raise, so in that respect the fact that he went all-in wasn't so big a deal.

On one hand, after hitting just the K, a lot of players would just have called here, in which case BB was very likely to have me beat ot this point. Do you agree on this? This observation made me feel a little uneasy. On the other hand, this could also be a player who decided to make a stand, having just made top pair with a decent kicker. Against two pair, I can still suck out and against a set I'm in real trouble.

So of course the ultimate question here is:
Should I call or should I fold?
