I'm not sure why this hasn't formatted properly. Original raiser is utg+3 and opens for min raise. I 3bet in HJ and the SB cold 4bets and the original raiser folds

Just Ship it and show that you can't be pushed around… 
OK now srsly. 
As there are no information about this guy the only way to get some of it, you go to sharkscope and see if he's a profitable reg etc. and think in your mind is he capable of making such moves with this stack and in this situation. Or seeing his stack you can think about that he is just running hot and in 20 hands he got dealt AA or KK 3 times and 4bets you with it 😀
If I were in this spot I would ship here with JJ+AK+. You get the fold you win some nice chips, you get called maybe he has AK and you still have a flip, which might lead you to a huge stack. You run in to better hand and lose, no problem you go for other tournaments

Hmm, this is a pretty bad spot really. OR is actually UTG+2 I think here but that is a minor point. Unless you have been really aggro early in this tournament then I would expect the 4 bettors range to be ultra tight and even if you have been aggro then I still cannot see him getting out of line pre-antes. He is effectively committing himself to your stack.
Personally, I think he plays AK and JJ+ this way and that is about it. I have to say I would seriously consider folding JJ in this spot purely because it is so early and I do not think villain will turn up with AK any more than 25% of the time. I even think some villains may possibly fold AK here after your 3bet if they look at the whole situation.
If this spot came up in the middle / later stages with antes and bigger blinds in play then you have to shrug and get it in as people are generally making a play at the pot light more often.
As played I fold and wait for a better spot as I think you are dominated or tying here 75%+ of the time.

One thing, it is a knockout so maybe the guy is adjusting his range a bit wider for your bounty however at these stakes I doubt that thought process comes around too often so my thoughts still apply as above mainly.
Be interesting to see what the pros say about this spot particularly relating to low stakes versus maybe same situation in high stakes.
