Default What to do when a \"normal\" raise pot commits you?

A fairly common situation. Mid-late through a SnG and you are short, but not on life support (8ish BBs). You pick up a moderate strength hand and the pot is folded to you. If you open raise a normal amount (3-4xBB), you will be committed if reraised. What do you do in this situation? Open-push? Open-miniraise? Standard raise?

For example (a hypothetical example):

Party $33 Sng. Blinds 50/100. 6 players left. You are slightly under-average stack at T900. Blinds go up in 4 hands. One very short stack behind you but all others either have you out-chipped or are very close. 1 fold to you and you have 88.

What's your play?

I'm most interested in general thoughts on this fairly common situation and posted this example for illustrative purposes only. Please don't limit comments to this hand, if you have thoughts on the general subject.
