I'd just call down.
What does raising for a free showdown acheive? You might get 3-bet, ok easy fold then. If they guy is semi-bluffing he is calling and donking the river if he hits it. You also stop him from bluffing with air.

This is the right place for a free showdown against the average opponent. Unless he has a hand that beats ours he will rarely donk the river or 3-bet the turn, the average opponent does not do these things... its too aggressive. He will however fold a bluff, some might even fold a draw, but few will fold a pair. If you don't 3-bet chances are you will have to call a river bet anyway, so you are giving yourself the chance to win the hand or at least see the showdown for the same investment.
I'd like to add the caveat that this is a smallish pot, which does make me hesitate the extra investment, also its also an easy fold if a 3-bet comes.
