Default $16: AJo as CL, is this FPS?

UTG raised 2 of last 3 hands PF, table folded to him both times. UTG+1 pushes in earlier hand into 2 limpers with KJs.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1330)
UTG+1 (t715)
Hero (t2880)
MP2 (t800)
MP3 (t1245)
CO (t1150)
Button (t2695)
SB (t1290)
BB (t1395)

Preflop: Hero is in MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t200</font>, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to t715 (All-in)</font>, Hero?

Is a push a good idea here, a good idea at a higher stakes game where they are more likely to fold, or just a bad idea?
What hand do you need to push here?

Comments appreciated.

A push is terrible, imo.

When someone raises 3 times in 3 or 4 hands like this, the latest raise is the biggest hand of the bunch a surprising amount.

I'd need AQs+, AK+, TT+ to push.

Agreed.
Too many players yet to act + marginal hand = fold IMO.

Actually I wasn't worried about his hand as much as the all-in player; his stack gives him no FE so he's more likely to have a big hand.

Maybe I'm overthinking/misapplying some concepts here after reading some of Gigabets posts. If UTG folds and I lose to UTG+1 I'm not in such bad shape but if I take down this pot I'm a much bigger chip leader. But AJo is probably too weak here I guess.
