Default BB vs SB bigstack: facing flop mini-bet

I fold in spots like this, even though I have the better hand, I'd say, a majority of the time. My stack is fine, I just let it go and play good bubble poker. But I wonder, is raising FPS? This is a 22, and I can maintain a fine ROI just letting my hand go in spots like this, but still... Any thoughts on how to play the hand other than folding? Calling (just to see how serious he is) crossed my mind, but I didn't want to face two more bets and get bled by the bigstack. PP ($22)

Let's say the flop was Q-8-2 rainbow. (No draws.) I have the same hand (middle pair / weak kicker). Again, I have a decent stack vs the bigstack. He mini-bets. Anyone raise here, or do you just get out of the way?

UTG ( $745 )
UTG+1 ( $1535 )
CO ( $1470 )
Button ( $625 )
SB ( $2425 )
BB (HERO) ( $1200 )

Blinds(50/100)

Dealt to HERO [ 6c 8s ]
UTG folds.
UTG+1 folds.
CO folds.
Button folds.
SB calls [50].
BB (HERO) checks.

** Dealing Flop ** [ Jh, 8d, 5c ]
SB bets [100].
HERO folds.
