Late in an MTT (top 10% cash, 20% are left) I have an average stack. I have KJo in mid-late position, and it folds around to me. I raise to 3x BB, and the button re-raises the amount of my raise. I think I shold fold, since there is a good chance that I am dominated. Then BB calls.
How does BB's call affect my play? On one hand, it could be argued that I should be more likely to call now, since I am getting better odds. On the other hand, it could also be argued that I should be less likely to call, since there is a greater chance that I am dominated.

How large is the raise as a % of your stack?
After being reraised, I am out for sure. In this situation, I would much rather have 87 suited over KJ. Ask yourself what could he be raising with that I feel good about? So I hit a J, does he have AJ KK QQ AA JJ? So I hit the K, AK AA KK KQ all in play.
Either way-I dont want to put my tourney on KJ against 6xBB bet with him in position.
The big blind calling is a consideration, but it really doesnt even get to that point IMO.
87 suited BB calling-I am in for sure as long as the price isnt too rich as a % of my stack. I like the 7:1 odds.
