Default AKo facing a rather large raise preflop

ok here's the situation:

blinds are 100/200... UTG has 9k and hero has 16k. hero is about 10th out of 52, avg stack is 10k (very close). chip leader has 23k or so.

top 12 qualify for a seat in this satellite and as i said, 51 players left.

UTG is donkey and raises to 15BB UTG. He has done this several times before (been a donkey) and has raised between 7 and 15 BB utg. His hand range is a medium pair most likely, but really we have no clue because he is a donkey.

We have AKo in LP and arefaced with this ridiculous raise. What is the move?

Arguments: folding - most likely behind to a pair not too much folding equity.

pushing - 99% sure he doesn't have AA or KK, if we win this coinflip we can coast into a seat and if we lose we are still in decent contention.

your move???

why not call then if you don't think you have much folding equity against his range. you will likely stack if you flop a pair while he is holding Ax, and maybe even Kx. you aren't even investing large amount of your stack to do it which is rare in mtt.
