The right question
Basic SSHE says that when a bet comes from your immediate right you, in general, you should either raise or fold. Calling this hand does not look to be right under any circumstances. A raise is the best way to try and thin the field which is the way to protect a high card hand.
Second best choice would be to fold, but lots of folks have already pointed out the lost opportunities there and you had no way of knowing before the fact that there would be a raise behind you. I suspect that raise would have disappeared had YOU been the raiser.
