Do you push him here? Just chuck the hand? Call and see how the flop treats you? Another one of those holes in my game where I really have no idea what to do in situations such as this one:

I'm letting this one go.

You probably have a coin-flip at best, 3 players left to act, and an UTG raise (albeit min-raise). Although you have some FE, you're not desperate and I think you can find a better spot.

Edit: Looking at UTG's stack, you have no FE (but can only lose 280). I still don't like it.

Between the UTG minraise (always scary) and the minraise committing 1/3 of his stack, I'm letting this go. You're at best a coinflip and this guy is begging for a call/raise.

You're playing this hand for 280 chips, not 100. I can't imagine there's a chance in hell you get him to fold the hand. In addition, it's not like the chips you're risking are insignificant. It's 40% of your stack...I'd rather have the stack of 670 chips to blind steal with at the 50/100 level. Personally I don't play it here.
