2/4 B&M - Preflop with AQo; cap in 7 handed pot?

[gobbledygeek]

2/4 B&M, 10 players, loose & passive

Hero is UTG with AQo and 2bets. 3 coldcallers, CO 3bets (likes to gambooool but will also reraise great hands unlike some passives who will simply coldcall) then 2 more coldcoldcallers. With 7 players going to the flop does Hero have enough equity with AQo to cap? Also, if capping, is Hero then obliged to c-bet the flop into the world even when whiffing?
