i muck it.
the allin is extremely likely to have a pocket pair.
the first player could have a monster here, and if not, one of your outs is likely dead.
there is one hand you are ahead of AQ, and it is not definite he makes this play with AQ, it was a UTG raise.

at best you are a coinflip, which you would take if you knew it was. and there are many ways your are in very bad shape.

raise and reraise, and it starting from early position makes AK not worth playing to me. i fold JJ too.

I agree 100% with this analysis. I muck this as well against standard players (I may call it if I have solid reads). If the raisers weren't from early position, or if the all in player didn't re-raise a raise, I might give consideration to calling.

Also, IMO this is the stage in the tournament to win a lot of uncontested pots, and would prefer to either save a chance for me to be the one pushing so I have FE as well with these blinds, or have QQ-AA if I'm calling off all my chips with that much early position action.
