This is a $6.50 Turbo on Stars which I think is relevant. What do you do in this spot. I dont like raising cause if he pushes then I basically have to fold. IMO I believe I should call or fold... what do you think? Seems like he makes this play with AA,KK,QQ,AK, maybe JJ but I have it. Thoughts?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

CO (t1500)
Button (t1600)

BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1440)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1480)
Hero (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t20, MP1 calls t20, MP2 raises to t140, Hero.....?,

I would fold here. I really don't like calling here, you have two early limpers who need to act and unless you catch a set a very difficult decision on the flop.

In a $6.50 tournament, I at the very least call, you will see all KINDS of junk here.

Well, unless you're playing the $50's or higher on Stars, your opponents are bound to raise TT, 99, AQ, and AJ here, if not more. Calling seems to be a good idea because of position, and it's less than a tenth of your stack, just barely, and I think that's what I'd do.
