If you're going to fold to a raise why not check/call to get to showdown?

because only better hands are vaule betting this river and worse hands are checking through. The only raising hand I beat is a bluff (or weirdly slowplayed Ak, AA), whereas there are plenty of worse hands that call.

I'd call the raise.

With no read i'd call the raise. This is way too easy of a board to try a bluff raise on the river or some other wacky move. I remember seeing that happen every now and then at 3/6, enough to call the raise at least. If you have even a slight read the guy is normal or passive you probably can ditch.
