Do you risk your tourney life with AQ in this situation?

In a Sit & Go, it is always a tough decision to put your tourney life at risk. Take a look at the following situation, where you face the decision for all your chips with AQ.

Quite often you'll find yourself in a situation, where you are confronted by an all-in and are quite sure to beat the range of your opponent. Even so it is not always clear if the call would show a profit from an ICM-perspective. Probably you just take a look at the pay out structure and on the pay jumps and then decide, if it is worth risking your tourney life there. But what about the precise assumption of an opponents range and how could you measure it?

Here is an example for such a situation: You are playing in a 6-max SNG with a standard pay out structure (65%, 35%) and put your opponent on a range of top 33.6%: 22+, Ax+, K4s+, K9o+, Q8s+, QTo+, J8s+, JTo, T7s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s.
