Default 88, mid level of a party multi

In this hand, Hero is table chipleader with 4400 and villian is average player with average stack with 2800. The blinds are at 50 100, and hero is dealt 88 in the cutoff. Villian in early middle position makes it 400 to go. Hero calls, all others fold. The flop is 2 3 5 rainbow, and Villian bets 425 (half the pot).

What is hero's line from here? I will post my chosen line and what I think to be best after some responses.

Well, in general I absolutely HATE min-raising but it seems appropriate here. If you make it ~425 to go, you're forcing him to begin looking at commiting his stack without commiting your own.
I'd feel okay folding to his re-raise all-in and most people lay down overcards to this min-raise - since (in this scenario) it would mean commiting another 400 of his remaining ~2,000.

I agree with the previous poster. I'd reraise and then probably cave-in to another raise. There's a good chance that this flop missed him completely (or if he has an ace only a gutshot) and this looks like a standard continuation bet on his part.

You have to raise here. It will let you know where you stand. Like others said if he comes over the top I would fold.
