Default Overcalling an all-in bet with a small pair

Here's a small pair I had when my stack was starting to dwindle a bit. I was still competitive with most of the field, but two others were far ahead. I had a pair, but was it worth risking the tournament here to come into the pot when there was already someone calling the all-in? It looks like calling would commit all my chips to the pot.

This hand seems more complicated to me than it appears at first glance, since I'm fighting the all-in for half the pot and the guy who called him for the other half. I could beat, or lose to, either or both, winning or losing the full pot or all of it.
