How much depends on blinds and stack sizes more than anything. Something like 4BB is usually fine, just a standard preflop raise.
 
 If you're low on chips and a 4BB raise will leave you with less than 4 or 5BBs behind, it's better to just push.
 
 Remember stealing is only a good move when you're in late postition and it's either folded around to you or the pot is unraised, and the blinds/limpers are playing relatively tightly. If there are one or two limpers you may need to raise a little more to steal (add a BB per limper, maybe), if there are more than 2 limpers you probably don't want to be trying to steal in this spot. Also take heed of people limping from early position on an aggressive table - they may be looking to limp-reraise a big hand, so a steal might not be a good idea. :)
 
 The 10-15BB people I hope were joking... risking 15 BB to win 1.5-2.5BB (depending on antes) with a crap hand is ever so slightly (read: incredibly) stupid.
