Not enough info. Your stack, stack from opponent, average stack, size of the blinds, how many players must bust out before the money, are there a lot of small stacks, do you need to cash?
With a small pair you have a flip at best. Do you feel lucky?

I agree with shokaku about the lack of info. With a big stack if you opened to steal it was a good move and now you should fold, unless your opponent's stack is small enough to not cause you trouble, then it's a call all the time to take a 50% chance of eliminating another player. With a medium stack be careful opening with those hands, mos opponents will go all in to put pressure on you and you will not be able to call. With a short stack, you can only play push or fold. And a pocket pair is a good hand to go all in, you will be many times 50/50 but soon blinds will eat your stack and you may not get another good hand to make a move. Going all in with a short stack is more efficient than raising when you are going death because you will be more successful making your opponents to fold. A shortstack on a tournament is when you have less than 15-13bb.
easy answer, easy fold. Not enough info of course, but if you're close the bubble it's better not to take risks. Different asnwer if you're a chip leader ( or among the top ones ) and if you have lots of chips to allow yourself to lose without consequences

If you're that interested in making it into the money then I definitely wouldn't be radin with small pocket pairs preflop, its just throwing money away

yeah did u feel lucky punk i know what ur think should i fire 2 bullets of 186 ur choice !!
Give us more info, i.e. M zones, yours/villains, reads, stage of tourney (early, mid, bubble or ITM), position- in relation to no. of players to act behind you. That should be a good start to getting some decent feedback.

Fold most likely, since hes almost at the bubble, the variance doesn't make it worth calling all in for his tourney life on the line. Definately fold unless you're extremely short stacked. Either way depends on how far until the bubble and how much you have in your stack compared to the rest of the people.
Have to go with the majority on this one. FOLD, throw those fuckin cards away; your better off blinding out in the money rather than bubbling out of the money. Maybe with a little more info you'll get a more detailed answer, but the conclusion would probably stay the same....fold.

I would wait for the paid places, once i was about 3 places away from paid places and was even thinking of laying down AA, just not to risk unnecessary. Lucky for me noone called my all-in
