AK in multipay pot preflop

[CourtesyFlush]

Kind of a basic question, but should you be more or less likely to reraise AK preflop in a multiway pot? I have spent most of my time playing NL online shorthanded. I tried playing some 10 handed tables a couple days ago I found myself in a couple situations where the UTG raised the pot (no read on him, not sure of his raising standards) and about 3-4 players called in front of me who I believe are rather loose. Should I just call here because I don't want to bloat the pot with a hand that is basically drawing at the flop, or reraise to take advantage of all of the dead money and take the initiative? I know what I prefer, but I wanted to check and see what the general consensus is.

Since you're in position, raise. Knock out some of the limpers.

Depends very, very, veyr heavily on UTG.

Sorry I meant to add:
Assume zero read on UTG's raising standards, but you know all of the callers are rather loose calling preflop raises.

*Edit* I guess I did state that, refer to post below.

Can you tell me what your play would be if you knew UTG was:
1) a tight solid player
2) a loose raising donkey
3) a very passive preflop weak tight player

?

I almost always will raise here with AKo, and call with AKs. I just absolutely want to get it HU with UTG.

1) I would raise here and try to pick it up on the flop no matter what it is.

2) I might call if he's too agressive preflop.

3) This could go to a fold even.
