Well, it kind of depends on a lot.  How big your stack is compared to the bets and blinds, how short stacked the other guy is, and how many people are left.  If the blinds are 150/300 and the guy goes all in for 400, you should be a little looser in what you call with.  In the same case above, if you were the bb and the short stack makes it 400 it would look strange if you folded any hand heads up.  I would give you flack for that too.

Another situation.  You have a huge chip lead, lets say 15,000 and the blinds are 200/400 and the short stack goes in for 800 with 3 or 4 people left.  You should probly make a call with almost anything.  You make money from people being eliminated.  The short stack's requirements for starting hands are going to go way down because of the blinds, and almost any two cards are good here.

In the end you can do what ever you want.  The other guys at the table can call just as easily as you, they just don't want to put their chips in jeopardy.  Your game should naturally open up a little as players get out.  If you play too tight when short handed you are going to get beaten because the blinds come around so quick.  It doesn't mean you have to call every all in with 5,7 off.  But you also shouldn't be waiting for AA.
