Default $5.50 - AKs in SB, is this a fold?

ok, I got this hand in a spot where you almost always want to reraise. My 'M' at this point was strong (about 40), so I knew I wasn't desperate to accumulate chips. If I reraised this person, I thought they would for sure be all in (because the massive preflop raise was semi-commiting). On the other hand, if I flat called, I would have commited 10% of my stack to play AK out of position potentially against the limper and obviously against the raiser. I felt I had enough chips to not need a race at this point in the tournament (which I'm about 80% sure this player had 99-JJ). So how would you approach this horrible spot?
