UTG is recreational player which open raise I 3bet on MP with AK and button unknown player 4bet here. Just call vs this action and see what comes on the flop? 5bet all in is not good option for me here. Or maybe fold?

PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.02/$0.05 - 6 players

UTG: $7.46 (149 bb)
MP (Hero): $6.29 (126 bb)
CO: $5.00 (100 bb)
BU: $6.50 (130 bb)
SB: $9.57 (191 bb)
BB: $5.43 (109 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is MP with A♣ K♠
UTG raises to $0.10, Hero 3-bets to $0.40, 1 fold, BTN 4-bets to $1, 3 players fold, MP (Hero) ???

It really depends on how you perceive V's 4bet. Fold and defend seems equally fine if you believe you are against tight 4bet.

Dont forget that if you choose to defend you should defend your QQ+ hands (against this player) as well. This will keep your defend uncapped. It's mandatory

Player on button is unknown player but I don't expected that he bluffs here, my 3bet on MP look strong too. I decide finally fold because more times I must fold postflop if I don't catch something on board (vs low cbet on the flop I check-call but if turn nothing helps I must check-fold vs another bet).

Call preflop. Unimproved on flop was fold over 1/2 pot Bet

Hard to fold for only 60c more pre-flop. You play pretty deep and you block KK+.
If you call you need to hit to win and that's indeed nasty with in mind you play out of position post-flop.
