A push here is fine. You're hoping to isolate the 2nd players dead money, so even if the initial raiser has 99-JJ and instacalls, you're getting a fantastic price to flip a coin.

I actually think a fold here is the best option, unless you think either of the two people involved in the hand will lay down coinflip hands (like say 88-JJ). If you think you have a bit of fold equity from them, then a push could be the best option.

But considering your stack, you have almost no fold equity unless both are just plain bluffing. Getting called by any sort of playable hand while holding AQ is probably not a good thing; AJ and KQ are really think only things you like to see, with AK, AA, KK, and QQ being things you would hate to see and all other pairs being things you're not really that happy to see.

With blinds at 10% of your stack size, I would rather open-push with any two cards than get called preflop while holding AQ.

No reason to worry about the second player and the range of hands of the raiser is large enough to take a stand here, very good price on a coin flip, the chances of being ahead and being dominated even out.
