Default QQ Against a Short Stack

I'm curious as to what all of you think about this hand. I was still pretty new to the table so unfortunately no reads.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $29.35
UTG+1: $58.30
CO: $140.30
Hero: $63.90
SB: $16.75
BB: $50.05

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $1.75</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $5.5</font>, 2 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($11.75, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero...?</font>

Normally I like to put in a good raise here to put pressure on the other guy, but if I do that here he'll be in the push or muck mode. If he pushes then I find myself seeminly pot-committed while drawing to two outs. Calling seems weak and folding to that drastic underbet seems wrong as well.

This is an instafold, I'm not scared of the FD, it's the tiny raise. Tiny raises at this level are just sucker bets, you're the sucker if you call.
