Default Best line with AJo facing an UTG raise?

Villian is 24/17/2.5, have seen him open 44 UTG so small pocket pairs are possibilities.

Pokerstove says I have 52.7% equity vs his opening range, but presumably it'll be tighter UTG so it's probably even more marginal. Obviously with his 4bet I'm getting out, but would a call to see the flop instead of 3betting him be better?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB ($8.85)
UTG ($10)
Hero ($23.30)
Button ($23)
SB ($12.05)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $0.4</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.35</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $3.85</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $2.85

Even if AJo is 50%+ hot and cold, vs a TAG UTG raiser it's going to play bad postflop. True, you have position here, but the reverse implied odds can really sink you. Fold to the first raise.

I almost always fold AJ facing a utg raise from a reasonable opponent. If I am on the button it might be a different story depending on different things, but if the CO and BTN are still left behind me, I give up rather quickly.

The best line is to fold here, I hate AJ especially against a tightish UTG raise, calling is bad, raising is also bad.
