Assuming equal stacks and a standard 6-max payout structure of 65%/35% for 1st and 2nd, I can't see much being +EV to call with. Folding, your equity is about 40% of the tournament prize pool. So to call, you would need to win something pretty close 2/3 of the time to get more than 40% equity by calling (also this makes the assumption that if you call and lose you will be busted and never get the second place money).
