$11: Party bubble play

i have recently been confronted with some tough decisions in my party 10+1 tourney play...this isn't an exact hand or any one example, but in general, how big of risk should you be willing to take if your on the bubble with 4 players left. Say you have pocket queens and you are 2nd in chips with 2100. The big stack with 2900 raises you 900 with the blinds at 150-300. what do you do? your in the big blind... i guess the question is, should you be willing to risk your stack here with queens on the bubble and go all in? just call? On the other hand, if you have AK and you get raised in the exact same situation, whats your play? relatively new to these and my game could use some work...thanks in advance...
