Wrong end of stop-n-go?

Late in UB $40+4, blinds 150/300 w/25 antes, 10-handed, bubble about 10 spots away. Villain (UTG) has 4200 and has been quietly getting blinded down, no other reads. I have 8000 and have been getting a lot of big hands lately and raising without showdowns, so my image is LAGgy.

Pre-flop: Hero is dealt QQ UTG+1.

Villain minraises to 600 UTG, Hero reraises to 1500, folded around to Villain who pauses for a second and calls.

Flop (3700): A T 7 rainbow

Villain goes all-in for 2675, Hero ?

Fold and wait for a better spot.

You have plenty o' chips. You are behind many hands that the villian would call the reraise with IMO.

...hero grudgingly folds and lives to fight another day...

Thats a pretty popular play for shortstacks, or anyone really, to call a preflop raise and quickly push after the flop. Only problem for you, obviously, is that the ace fell. I don't think you can call, even with suspicions of a bluff. You have enough chips to wait for a better spot, IMO.
