i just ran a turbo texas holdem v5 sim for a million hands. the lineup is their default 'tough', which is a game whose difficulty most of us never see. hero is utg with AQo, and is the best ai player tth5 offers.

his default play was to openraise 100% of the time.

he won 66.6% of the time, for a total average ev of +$7.19 per hand in a 20/40 game. changing the raise to a limp he still won 66.6% of the time, for a total average ev of +$6.99, which would show that raising is superior to calling utg even in the toughest of games.

based on these results, it seems that folding this hand in early position without a raise is borderline insane. if anybody really feels it's necessary, i can see what playing a different type of lineup would do.
