Push. It is good enough. You are getting kinda low stacked and this is a nice double up. Or you take it down uncontested as he folds QJs

Fold. You could easily be dominated or a coinflip, and it's not worth it. He shows a lot of strength raising UTG, and without a read you have no reason to doubt him.

A call is possible, but most flops will be hard to play.
