AA in SB after UTG raise and 4 callers

Over the weekend, got by bankroll to $3000, so I'm jumping back into 100NL. Two wild players at the table. I'm dealt AA in the SB. UTG raises followed by 4 callers. All the stacks have me covered except for the cut-off, who is half stack. Bet sizing here? I'm tempted to shove, but maybe just pop it to about $25 or $30,...

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [Ac As]
UTG: raises $2 to $3 (playing 11/4 over 57 hands)
UTG+1: calls $3 (playing 69/11 over 50 hands)
MP1: folds
MP2: calls $3 (playing 67/27 over 33 hands)
CO: calls $3 (playing 7/4 over 57 hands)
BUT: calls $3 (19/12 over 57 hands)
Hero in SB?
Pot is $16.50

Don't shove! Just make it $20 or something. I'm guessing effective stacks are 100BB?

you want someone to make a mistake. That's where you make your money. Raise it to $22 and any call is a mistake. Shove and they fold and they played it perfectly. Shoving is likely only getting calls from QQ+ - but they may fold too, and they're calling another $19 and getting it in on most flops

like $16 is fine
