Is this the kind of spot i should be getting it in? Or can i find a fold?

So, last nights main event. £10k sharpshooter. 24 left, about 10 places into the cash with a few decent bounties (not sure if that does/should have any bearing on the matter), so I'm already £60 in profit....
I pick up AKo UTG and min raise off a 20bb stack, folded round to bb who shoves for 24bb. I'm hoping to be up against AQ, but guessing i'm up against a pp. What's the play? Call for a potential double up and have a 40bb stack, or fold and be left with a 19bb?

I'm calling, for sure.
Gives us a chance to have a stack we can bully with, & go on for the win.
If we were in a position to take the head then it wouldnt even merit a moments thought but even so the double up would put you in a great position to go really deep.
The classic AK vs PP. Whenever I bust having got it in AIPF with AK I always feel a bit flat and have that little voice in my head saying "you just threw your tourney away with ace high". But my gut instinct was: I should be calling here, glad I made the right move.
