You're read dependent.

Extra question: how small does villains shove need to be before it becomes a call? If they have slightly less than us its a fold still i think, but how much of our stack are we willing to call off in this spot?

i think effective stacks of less than 22 or so big blinds would be a call. when villain has 15-20 big blinds, he has an optimal resteal stack so his range becomes a lot wider

Ok so one more question if you had around 10BB would you have still min raised or would it be an insta shove?
For me when I am low it is an insta shove hoping to double up in this position. I know that others may think this is foolish as I may not get paid off for my big hands I just dont think I have room for fancy work when that low stacked.

insta shove. min raise and you might get two or more calls.

Shoving doesn't really reveal your hand strength here, they fact you're UTG means its likely at the stronger end of the range, but you could be going with 77+

edit: I should point out there is a correct answer to this, but I can't be bother with the math or software right now

under 20bb i would open shove this.
