A good fold early on, I hate coin tosses in tourneys which you are here at best, A call is unprofitable because an over to a 6 will hit almost every flop. Thats all assuming your not up against a hand like JJ which I think is probable here. Also, when you post try to give some more details, stack size is extremely important in a tourney! Also table dynamics, are you with maniacs here?

Unless your stacks are very deep (>2000) this is an easy fold - the chances of a re-raise by the initial raiser are just too high to make a speculative call like this

You had an M of about 35 or so, were out of position and up against two raisers. Looks like a clear fold to me, especially since you have no idea if the original raiser is going to raise again. Quite frankly, if I'm sitting in your seat, I could not make an honest guess as to how much this hand might cost me to play. Not worth it, you did well to get out with a minimal loss.

yeah, you can only call here if it closes the action and you approaching it with a hit or fold mentality. Calling would be sacrificing a small percentage of your chips for the opportunity to snap off a monster and absorb a stack.
