It's a little read dependant, but I'd call. I think he's desperate, he needs to make a move pretty soon, and I think he'd try it with plenty of hands you're ahead of. Thinking of it from his angle, it's a great spot to try to steal, with almost any 2. He's got FE against your stack, and everyone else is already out. If he's been tight to a fault however, and that'd be believable with his stack size, a fold could be reasonable then. You said he hasn't been pushing a lot. This makes me sweat a little more, and I'll admit that it means that you're going to end up behind sometimes when it comes up. I'd say I would only seriously consider the fold if it's his first push, or if you have pre-existing notes on the guy. Otherwise, make him earn it.

I don't have eastbay's calculator here, so I can't run the exact numbers - but I fold this. You're in a situtation where if you lose what's likely a coinflip, you're crippled. At 100/200 blinds, you still have some fold equity if you fold this and you can still build your stack by stealing blinds and doubling up in a better situation.

I ran the numbers. It is "too close to call" with the pusher set on average.

If the pusher is set to loose or maniac then this is an easy call (according to SGA's numbers).

Yes, i found it to be very borderline. Turns out he had two kings and flopped trips so i was pretty much busted :P I will probably fold in these kind of situations in the future since it was actually his first push, i would probably call with 88+ though.
