well one good reason to fold is ofcourse is that it is not a made hand and ur an underdog against his pair which is more than likely his holding... unless it a paired king or ace which your about a 3:1 under dog even more which would not be a good...another reason here is well i cant think of anything else

buuut the reasons i see a call is good here is because he pushed all in he has a pair and ranges between 55-1010 and doesnt want any one holding Ax - Jx
to call which those holdings are still 30% chance to win even if the x in under 10...not very smart of him but he just doesnt want confrontation also....AK holding up just a lil better in 7 man table then a 9 or ten...but i can see him holding to high cards like what your holdingmaybe kq or aq..which in these cases your up 3:1..so one average you have about a toss up i conclusion

my move is call..one

Well, in my opinion there is only one thing that would make me fold in this spot and it is if I think this guy is an extremely tight player. If he isn't an extremely tight player then I would have to call in this spot.

Ok...if you fold, you will have 27702 remaining, an M of 4.99. While it is short, it is not the short stack of the table. If there are 20 left, that means a bump in pay is coming up, how much I don't know, but I'll assume it's fairly significant. So there are your reasons for folding.

If you call...Well, as canete said, you are probably at a coinflip on average...For every time you're against AA/KK, you'll be up against Ax/Kx. Then of course are the possibilities of him holding JJ, TT, 99, which are a coinflip. Now, with the payout about to get bumped up (as discussed in reasons for folding), why would you risk your tourney life on a coinflip? The answer is simple - You don't want to limp your way into the money, you want to get the big bucks, which aren't reached until the final table - and really, the top 3-6 players of the final table. While you still have chips to play with, folding here isn't going to be putting you in too good position to make a run for the final table. Assuming you've already made some money on the tourney, I would say call, unless as Bass said, your read on the player says he would only push with AA or KK in this situation.
