Default ($12) AQ vs early raise+call

Ok, this is a pretty common spot that I'm not comfortable enough in. It feels standard to push AK and fold AJ, but with AQ I'm never quite sure what to do. No reads and I've only played one hand so far which was KK and went to showdown.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t25/t50
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t990
UTG+1: t1430
MP1: t3925
MP2: t1340
Hero: t1025
Button: t1875
SB: t1345
BB: t1570

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to t175</font>, MP1 calls t175 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t250)</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ?</font>

weird spot for me, but I think it's a fold.

id shove readless. your hand is just strong enough and the pot is just big enough with your stack size that this is worth getting it in here

Is calling horrible here? If we pair up we shove. Gosh I'm torn here too. I probably fold like a nit, maybe this is a leak.

Shoving is sexy, i'd shove/fold depending on the PFR's numbers up to this point.. I'd never call..

i think this depends on the nature of the raiser and caller. if they are tight players, or you arent sure, i would surely fold.
otherwise, i would probably call here most of the time IN POSITION. dont think you're strong enough for a raise, but your late position on two other players argues for a call.
