I would raise or limp. Which depends on what I think of UTG (obviously fishy but will he call a raise and how much will he lose post flop?)and how likely somebody else is to get involved.
The short stack doesn't really worry me here, if his range is so tight that AJ is marginal he won't shove often enough to be a problem and if he is wide you are well ahead. Either way you are priced in. My worry is that somebody after hero might get involved and the fish will fold. That leaves hero OOP with AJs and not a lot of dead money.
