Default Jacks early in a tournament

$25 MTT. This is the first time I have ever played with this group of people so I have no idea how anyone plays and they have no idea how I play.

It is in the first level, blinds are $50/50 and evryone has about what they started with, $5,000.

A female player who has been very quiet and is half of the hosting couple, raises under the gun to $150. After two folds, another player, unshaven and wearing a Steeler jersey, reraises to $450 emphatically. I have Jacks. What is my play?

Probably just muck them and see how the action unfolds. You're so deep that you're not losing much by tossing them. Pay close attention to what the players show down.

I fold and don't think twice about it.
