No, but it is an easy stop-and-go.

There are two ways to play it. You can push to attempt and get it heads up or do the S&G.
edit: Given your push of BB & it being heads up S&G looks good.

Thing is, the push will be called pretty close to 100% of the time, and Hero is in SB, so you may as well stop and go, you might even get him to lay down AK on a baby flop.

The only time you wouldn't want to do this is if you think Villian could be making a move to steal the blinds with KQ, AJ, etc. In which case, you definitely want him to call. I really don't think this is the case here though - he's raised to 5BB UTG+1. He must have a pretty reasonable hand. A steal I would think raises to 2.5-3BB. But if he's been a donk or is a LAG then I think a push over the top is better here.. all depends on reads as usual..
