Default $5 How is QQ looking after a raise and re-raise

We are in the money. No reads on the table, have only been there for a few hands. My stack is getting small, but there is strength being represented in front of me. What to do?

UTG (t30394)
UTG+1 (t9702)

MP3 (t30713)
CO (t36777)
Hero (t17395)
SB (t31741)
BB (t40507)

Please never fold QQ PF. Especially in a $5.

You really need reads on the players in question in order to fold QQ with ~15BBs. CO's 3-bet is really big...sometimes this indicates less than AA/KK, sometimes not. With no reads i shove b/c you're ahead of UTG's range and CO's bet looks kinda like a scared AK.

I shoved and lost to AK hitting. I did not think I could fold the QQ with my stack size, maybe if I was deep and had a read as you said
