Default JJ, start of the Tourney, kind of frequent spot

Stacks are 1500, blinds 10-20, no reads at all
UTG raises to 80,
4 calls, i sit with JJ in the BB.

Call or Raise and how much?
Since i have no reads at all UTG might even hold AQ+, QQ+ so should i risk a lot early with "just" JJ or should i (probably) waste my JJ early by just calling?

I think this is a call. No one's left behind you, so no risk of a push. You're pretty much going for set value here. If any overcards come on the flop, you'll have to give it up. Raising here is usually messy. If someone then pushes, they likely have you beat, or at least in a coin flip. You want to keep the pot smallish so you can afford to play a little if the flop comes all undercards, but even this can get tricky, especially with 5 other people in the pot. Without a read, throw it away if you meet any significant resistance.

Just call this and see what the flop brings.
