As Kinboshi says, "why re raise?"

You don"t win a tournament by getting knocked out early.
hi_am_chris:
i want to take the flop heads up for a start assuming im ahead with my KK i only want one hand drawing at me on the flop. Theres already money in the pot too and if i only take down a small pot at this stage of the tournament im not too dissapointed. Also by flat calling you have no way of knowing how strong your opponent is. Also what you do i guess depends how youve been playing previous pots, if youve been playing very tight maybe its best to just flat call if you want to trap or decieve your opponent on the flop but if youve been in a lot of pots raising and reraising then i think you have to make that reraise because of the chance of getting action from TT JJ QQ and pos more marginal hands.

Jon MW:
Didn"t the player with Kings do what you"d suggest to do?
And get knocked out in the early stages?
How does this win tournaments?
