Folding is way out of line mathematically speaking. JJ is a far above average hand for you in this situation. Raising any pair to isolate your big ace is a normal play for him. You would give up far too much by folding especially after BB drops out.

For the player who said that raising an OESD makes no sense, I disagree. If you can isolate an ace you solidify six outs for 76. Would you call two cold on the flop from the BB with 88 or 65? Tough spot to be in. If you later push the ace off the pot you gain heavily. Against the right opponents raising can be very good.
